Makes 6 servings, 1 generous cup each
Ingredients
1 large orange or yellow bell pepper
3 ½ pounds yellow or orange tomatoes, peeled (see Tip) and cored, divided
1 cup coarsely chopped sweet onion
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2-3 red or green jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
2. Place bell pepper on a baking sheet and broil, turning every 4 to 5 minutes, until the skin is blackened and blistered on all sides, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pepper to a bowl, cover, and let steam until the skin is loosened, about 10 minutes. Uncover; when cool enough to handle, remove the skin. Discard stem, seeds and ribs.
3. Place the roasted pepper and half the tomatoes in a blender; and onion and oil and puree until smooth. Transfer to a large metal bowl. Puree the remaining tomatoes until smooth and add to the bowl; stir to combine. Refrigerate the gazpacho until chilled, at least 2 hours. Season with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with jalapenos, if desired.
Tips
Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
Tip: To peel tomatoes: Make a small X in the bottom of each tomato and plunge into boiling water until the skins are slightly loosened, 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water for 1 minute. Peel with a paring knife, starting at the X.

Emily's side note...we made some sourdough croutons, which was a great addition and split this between two people for a filling lunch. No way was this 6 servings. Very tasty with home grown tomatoes!
