    watermelon gazpacho

    Gazpacho is a cold Spanish soup, traditionally made with tomatoes as the base. I love this easy no fuss recipe.

    But, I also like to make it with a variety of other fruits and vegetables for a lovely naturally sweet cold soup with a spicy kick.

    To make this one, I started with my little brother's Beet Gazpacho recipe and combined some ingredients from this White Gazpacho recipe.

    The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled, but you may need to make it in batches. My blender only held half of a "personal sized" watermelon.

    Ingredients for Watermelon Gazpacho

    • watermelon - or other melon if you prefer
    • cucumber
    • red bell pepper (to compliment the red melon, you can use any color you prefer)
    • yellow onion - or white or red
    • garlic - fresh is best
    • almonds - optional, but it adds some protein and creaminess as well as binding the soup together.
    • smoked paprika - sweet is okay, but you may want to consider a dash of liquid smoke if you do.
    • chili powder
    • cayenne pepper
    • French bread - gluten free or omit the bread and use more almonds for binding if you need gluten free or low carb
    • rice vinegar - or other mild vinegar like sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar)
    • olive oil

    • 6 cups watermelon (cubed)
    • ½ large cucumber (peeled and seeded)
    • ½ large red pepper (seeded)
    • ¼ large yellow onion
    • 1 large clove garlic
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
    • ½ cup french bread (torn into pieces (gluten free if desired))
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or sherry vinegar or white wine vingar)
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • ½ cup almonds (optional)

    Instructions
     

    • Put the watermelon, cucumber, pepper, onions and garlic into a blender or food processor and puree until completely smooth.
    • Add spices and bread (and almonds if using) puree until completely smooth.
    • Drizzle in vinegar and olive oil.
    • Serve immediately or chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.

    Notes

    If you do not have smoked paprika you can quickly smoke it yourself by putting it in a small skillet and heating until it begins to smoke. Watch carefully!!! It will only take a few minutes.

    Until next time, happy eating.

      I thought for sure there were going to be all salad recipes but soup was the big winner this month. Sounds lovely.
