Preparation

  1. Step 1

    For the gazpacho: Depending on the size of the blender, the gazpacho may be prepared in one or two batches; if desired, divide the ingredients in half and blend one batch at a time.

  2. Step 2

    In a blender, combine tomatoes, cucumber, tomato paste, crème fraîche, lemon-flavored Perrier and sugar. Blend on medium speed for 2 minutes. With motor running, slowly add olive oil until mixture is emulsified and smooth. Season with fleur de sel to taste.

  3. Step 3

    For the vanilla cream: Whip heavy cream until stiff. Fold in vanilla pulp just until mixed.

  4. Step 4

    To serve, ladle gazpacho into four soup bowls and garnish each with a dollop of vanilla cream.
