    I have so been craving a good gazpacho soup and thought I'd turn the ordinary into a mean green version. On hand: avocados, cucumbers, green tomatoes (or tomatillos), yellow bell pepper ('cause I hate green peppers!), green onions, basil, cilantro, and baby spinach.

    What is Gazpacho Soup?

    Gazpacho is a cold soup made of raw, blended vegetables. A classic of Spanish cuisine, it originated in the southern region of Andalusia. Gazpacho is widely eaten in Spain and Portugal, particularly during the hot summers, as it is refreshing and cool. [From Wikipedia.]

    So, are you ready to make and serve this super easy Mean Green Gazpacho soup? Your friends will be "green" with envy! 💚

    How to make Green Gazpacho Soup

    I used every green veggie under the sun to make this chilled and summery soup. Rifle through your fridge to see what you have on hand. It's all good! 🥑🥒🌶.

    1. So here are the veggies I used for this gazpacho soup: green tomatoes (or tomatillos), avocados, cucumbers, bell peppers, Thai chili peppers, green onions, garlic, cilantro, basil, and spinach. Some of it I had in the fridge already, some I purchased. (Measurements in the recipe card.)
    2. Throw it all into the food processor along with 2 cups of water, lime juice, white balsamic vinegar, avocado oil, salt and pepper.
    3. Just chill and serve! How easy it that?

    TIPS & TRICKS

    • You could rifle through your fridge and throw in other veggies that you have on hand so don't feel committed. I happened to have a bunch of cucumbers which really add a great flavor to this chilled soup.
    • The best is the avocado oil which gives it a nice flavor, and the kick from Thai chili peppers🌶. You can use jalapeño peppers if you can't find these.
    • Speaking of Thai chili peppers, make sure to seed the chili peppers (and don't use bare hands, you will regret it)!
    • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a high-powered blender as well. Does the trick!
