Cold soup, or gazpacho, is a typical summer dish. Now, we understand that summer is long gone, but a season of heavy and unhealthy eating is right around the corner. We don’t expect everyone to avoid the classically unhealthy and hardy holiday dishes. This chilled soup, however, may help balance those unhealthy dishes. It is light, refreshing, and full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Just make sure to let it chill in the fridge before you devour it.

If you need a dish to help cleanse your digestive system after a day or weekend of heavy eating, this may be the dish you seek. This chilled soup is fantastic, if we do say so ourselves! In fact, a chilled soup such as this is a popular dish in the Mediterranean diet, which many health experts consider to be the best for heart health. Cold soup contains a high concentration of vegetables with the occasional fruit. Because you do not cook the ingredients, they retain their nutritional compounds, which can break down during the cooking process.

Chilled soups, such as this recipe, do a great job at keeping the body hydrated. Most of the ingredients, especially the cucumbers, contain a high concentration of water and electrolytes, which are necessary for optimal hydration. You can easily dehydrate during the winter, believe it or not, so this will help you up your water intake. It also contains essential vitamins, such as A, E, and C, which work to keep your immune system strong during winter cold and flu season.

What is gazpacho? Well, gazpacho is a chilled soup that originated in Andalucía, Spain, and traditional recipes call for tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, garlic, olive oil, and more. You enjoy the soup cold, so there is no cooking involved, making it a great summer dish or light beginning to a multi-course meal. Although this avocado gazpacho is not entirely authentic, it does exhibit incredible depth of flavor and it’s almost like liquid guacamole.

This recipe is not only raw vegan, but it is also low-carb, paleo-friendly, keto-friendly, and replete with healthy fats. Slurp it out of a spoon or pour it into a cup so that you can drink it. We are not responsible if this refreshingly cold soup with powerful flavors kicks you into a pleasure-induced food coma. The great thing about this recipe is that you can tweak it until it is just right for your palate. Adjust the amount of onion, lime juice, chile, sea salt, and pepper to taste and then enjoy immediately.

This avocado gazpacho serves about four people, but you can divide it into much smaller portions as a party appetizer. Consider making a big batch and pouring it into shot glasses for a healthy swig of deliciousness. If you make it for a large gathering, make sure to do it right and top each shot glass with some fresh ingredients. Diced cucumbers, diced green onion, and diced avocado take the presentation to another level. Plus, you get more texture to contrast the creamy cold soup.

The great thing about gazpacho is that it packs a flavorful punch and it is very easy to make. It’s a great summer appetizer or meal accompaniment, especially next to a large salad or zucchini noodle entree. You can also enjoy gazpacho even if you don’t follow a raw vegan diet. It’s a light entry point to a meal, providing you with lots of nutrients and flavors without filling you up.

Gazpacho is a cold soup or drink made from raw vegetables that you blend together. It originated in the souther regions of the Iberian peninsula, and it is a very common dish to eat in Spain and Portugal. People primarily enjoy this dish during the summer because it is refreshing and cool. Most gazpacho recipes include tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, garlic, olive oil, water, and sea salt. This recipe has many of those ingredients, save for the bell peppers. It does bring more fresh herbs to the party, enhancing the depth of flavor.

This gazpacho calls for fresh cilantro, mint, and a little basil for topping. It also includes one jalapeño, which gives this raw soup a little fiery kick. If you are opposed to spicier flavors, use less of the jalapeño, or choose a more mild pepper like poblano. The acidity and sweetness of the tomatoes, however, do a good job to mellow the intensity of the jalapeño, so don’t worry too much!

Now that the weather is warming up, we can post more raw soup recipes. Raw soup seems like an odd choice, but it is a very popular dish in Spain during the summer. Gazpacho is a classic cold Spanish soup that’s typically made with tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onion, and garlic. The raw soup in this recipe doesn’t contain any of those ingredients, so it’s a modern spin on an old classic.

Raw soup isn’t for everyone, and that’s perfectly acceptable. It is, however, an easy meal option if you are following the raw vegan diet. Just like a smoothie, add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender, blend until smooth, and enjoy. We do suggest that you allow the ingredients to blend for at least one minute. A little raw vegan hack for warming a raw soup is allowing the ingredients to blend for about three minutes on high. The revolutions will naturally give the soup a little warmth, although you may not require warmth with this recipe. You may even see some steam!

The base of this raw soup is carrots, apple, and avocado. The avocado provides a creaminess that you don’t typically get from a cold soup or gazpacho recipe. Apple, carrots, and avocado don’t make the soup, but the remaining spices do. In fact, this recipe has an impressive ingredient list, using ginger, curry powder, ground coriander, nutritional yeast, dates, cumin, and more. As with any recipe like this, give it a quick taste test once the blending process is complete and adjust the seasonings as needed. We hope you love it, and give us some love in the comments or share it on social media if you make it! Don’t forget to sprinkle some freshly chopped chives on top for added flavor!

Despite what you may have heard, gazpacho is not a juice, smoothie, or anything else. It is simply gazpacho, which belongs to classic Spanish cuisine. Although it is typically consumed in the warmer months of summer, gazpacho can be enjoyed throughout the year. Even though gazpacho recipes have similar ingredients, there is always room for creativity and experimentation in the kitchen.

You may be wondering why on earth you would whip up a batch of gazpacho during these colder months. Consuming gazpacho somewhat regularly can be quite beneficial to your health. No matter what ingredients you choose to include, gazpacho contains beneficial nutrients like carotenoids, antioxidants, vitamins A, C, & E, fiber, and a variety of other minerals. The antioxidants and carotenoids from the brightly colored vegetables, which are typically added to gazpacho, tend to delver a lot of anti-inflammatory agents to the body.

A Quick Note: For those who have arthritis, it may be beneficial to make gazpacho recipes that are not always tomato-based. While classic gazpachos are tomato-based, too much acidity from the tomatoes can activate arthritis symptoms. Additionally, if you have allergies to nightshades (bell peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, or paprika), make sure to make your own nightshade-free take on some of the following recipes.
