Nice mellow taste -- sweeter than what I'm use to in Gazpacho. I used a little more garlic and vinegar. Next time I think I'll omit the mint, use less honey and add some jalapeno pepper to add some 'zip' to the soup.08/08/06

This has a sweet, mellow taste that's very different from the sharp hot gazpachos I'm used to, but it's very very good. It would be especially appealling for those who like flavor without a lot of heat. Since I do like heat, I substituted two jalapenos for the green bell pepper.08/07/06
