Steps
- 1Start by boiling a large saucepan of water. Carefully place 3 tomatoes into the boiling water and cook them for 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, remove the tomatoes from the water and transfer them to a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining tomatoes. Once the tomatoes have cooled down, begin peeling them starting at one end. Once peeled, cut each tomato in half horizontally and gently squeeze out the seeds and juice. Place the prepared tomatoes in a food processor and pulse using on/off turns until you achieve a coarse puree consistency. Transfer the puree to a strainer and allow it to drain for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to help release excess liquid.
- 2In a large bowl, mix together tomato puree, chicken broth, diced onion, 1/3 cup of lime juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chives, and cilantro. Season the gazpacho with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day before serving.
