I suggest some changes for a more traditional gazpacho Andaluz. Replace the onion with green (bell) pepper. (Traditional gazpacho Andaluz should not contain onion and always contains sweet pepper.) Less garlic. use 1, maybe 2 cloves. No sugar. Less water, you only need enough to get it to blend, make it pourable. It's typical to have cold water at the table for people to add water to taste, some like it thick, others less so. The key is balance, gazpacho should not be too tomatoey, vinegary, or garlicky - but you should be able to taste all three.

This gazpacho is a great way to use tomatoes when your garden is overflowing with them in the summer and it's too hot to cook.
