Method
1
Roughly chop the tomatoes, yellow bell peppers, and peeled cucumber into chunks, discarding any excess liquid from the tomatoes.
2
Add the chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumber to a blender along with the spicy hot vegetable juice.
3
Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth but slightly chunky consistency, about 30-45 seconds, pulsing as needed to achieve the desired texture.
4
Pour the gazpacho through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl, pressing gently on solids to extract liquid while leaving some texture if preferred.
5
Cover the gazpacho and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled before serving.
