What is gazpacho?
Gazpacho is a cold soup made with raw and blended vegetables. It is widely eaten in Spain and Portugal, particularly during hot summers as it is incredibly refreshing. Traditional gazpacho is often with a tomato base, so this is not a traditional recipe, but it’s still darn delicious. The best part about this recipe is that you can really get creative and swap out vegetables with whatever you have, or whatever is in-season. I’ve also done this recipe by swapping the zucchini with cucumber.
How do you make vegan gazpacho?
This plant-based Zucchini Gazpacho recipe is really simple and you can whip it up for the whole family in no time at all. All you do is:
To a small saucepan, add your garlic and shallots Add 1 tablespoon of water and on low heat bring to a light simmer
Once your onions/garlic are translucent (after about 2 minutes), you can add all your ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth (for another 1-2 minutes) Once blended, transfer to bowls and top with your favorite toppings like olive oil, herbs, and salt and pepper
What are the magic veggies in this Zucchini Gazpacho?
This recipe has a combination of vegetables that make it so delicious. The key ingredients are:
Green peas Avocado Zucchini Tomatillos
The jalapeno and fresh herbs also add a ton of flavor and freshness in this soup as well. This Zucchini Gazpacho soup is seriously loaded with health benefits. The green peas provide heart-healthy minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium. The avocado is a healthy fat and is full of potassium, fibre, and all that goodness. The zucchini is a perfect summer vegetable as it’s high in antioxidants and great for digestion. Last but not least, tomatillos have been my fav this summer. They also have antioxidants and add so much flavor that’s different than your typical tomato to any recipe.
