This corn gazpacho is one of my favorite ways to celebrate sweet summer corn. It’s cool, refreshing, creamy, and packed with fresh vegetables, making it exactly the kind of meal I crave on hot days.

What makes this gazpacho special is the corn. While traditional gazpacho recipes tend to lean heavily on tomatoes, this version lets sweet corn take center stage. Blended with yellow tomatoes, bell peppers, olive oil, lime juice, and a touch of sherry vinegar, it becomes silky, vibrant, and surprisingly creamy.

I also love how well it keeps. A big batch can be made ahead and enjoyed for lunches, light dinners, or easy appetizers throughout the week. It’s the kind of recipe that makes the most of peak-season produce and proves that simple summer ingredients really don’t need much help to shine.

Does this gazpacho taste vinegary?

This corn gazpacho recipe uses sherry vinegar, which has a milder flavor than other vinegars. But some sherry vinegars do have a stronger flavor than others. We like to use Capierete 20, a wonderful Spanish sherry vinegar, which adds the perfect balance of flavor to this gazpacho. We recommend adding the vinegar one tablespoon at a time until it tastes perfect for you!

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 lb yellow tomatoes (roughly chopped)
• ▢ 2 yellow bell peppers (seeded and roughly chopped)
• ▢ 3 ears corn (removed from cob – save a few kernels for garnish)
• ▢ ¼ cup white onion (roughly chopped)
• ▢ 2 cloves garlic (smashed)
• ▢ Optional: ¼ jalapeño pepper (seeded, for texture, not spiciness)
• ▢ 2 teaspoons sea salt (use good-quality salt here – no boxed salt!)
• ▢ ½ cup olive oil
• ▢ ¼ cup sherry vinegar
• ▢ 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• ▢ Sea salt (to taste)
• ▢ Olive oil, cilantro, corn, and fresh ground pepper (to serve)

Instructions 

• Combine the yellow tomatoes, bell peppers, corn (reserve a few kernels to garnish), onion, garlic, and jalapeño pepper in a large bowl. Sprinkle the sea salt over the top and mix well. Set the bowl aside on your counter for 10 minutes. (Can be left for up to 4 hours, if needed.)

• Working in batches blend the soup along with the olive oil. We like this soup quite creamy, but if you think you might like it a little chunky, blend the soup just a little, taste, and then continue to blend it until it's perfect for you.
  ½ cup olive oil
  
• Pour the blended gazpacho into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the lime juice. Add the sherry vinegar 1 tablespoon at a time, tasting as you go. We like to add 4 tablespoons of sherry vinegar and ½ teaspoon more sea salt.
  
• Serve the corn gazpacho with the reserved corn kernels, some cilantro, black pepper, and a little drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

This soup can be made up to three days in advance and stored in a jar in your fridge. It will separate a little so give the jar a shake before you serve it.
