1. BLEND VEGETABLES: Place all ingredients except oil in a deep pot/bowl if using an immersion blender stick or in a blender. If using a blender, you may need to do two batches. Blend until almost smooth, at least 2 minutes. Scrape down sides as needed.
2. STRAIN VEGETABLES (if you want a smooth gazpacho): Place a coarse meshed strainer over a bowl and empty in the blended vegetable mixture. Using a large spoon, scrape the vegetables against the strainer to release as much liquid into the bowl as possible. Also scrape off the underside of strainer into the bowl. Spoon solids/pulp into a small bowl. Add a drizzle of oil, salt and chopped parsley to taste. This will be used as a garnish or add-in for those who like chunkier gazpacho.
3. ADD OIL TO EMULSIFY: If using a blender, place the now-strained liquid back into blender. If using a immersion stick, place it in the bowl with the liquid. Turn on machine and slowly add the oil while machine is running. This will emulsify or slightly thicken the liquid to a smooth silky consistency. Add a bit more oil if needed. Liquid will now have more body (and even more once refrigerated). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (more vinegar, more salt).
4. REFRIGERATE AND SERVE: Pour into pitcher or container and put in fridge for 2 hours or more. Serve with reserved solids on the side (for people to add) and one or more garnishes if desired.
