Peach and Tomato Gazpacho
- 1 1/2 lb tomatoes, chopped (4 cups)
- 1 lb peaches, pitted and chopped (2 cups)
- 1/4 cup crushed ice
- 2 tablespoons chopped shallot (1 medium)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 teaspoon salt

Purée two thirds of tomatoes and half of peaches with ice, shallot, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 2 teaspoons tarragon, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender until very smooth, about 1 minute. Force through a medium-mesh sieve into a large glass measure, discarding solids. Stir in water to desired consistency.
