Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large cucumber
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 ripe avocado
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 stalks green onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 small jalapeño (optional, for heat)
- 6 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the cucumbers and cut them into chunks. Reserve a small amount of cucumber for garnishing, if desired.
Core and seed the green bell pepper, then cut it into chunks.
Scoop the flesh of the avocado out of its skin and discard the pit.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cucumber, green bell pepper, avocado, parsley, cilantro, green onion, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, water, and white wine vinegar.
If you prefer some heat, add the jalapeño to the blender.
Blend the mixture until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
Season the gazpacho with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Drop in the ice cubes and blend again briefly to chill the soup.
Transfer the gazpacho to a serving bowl or individual bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish with reserved cucumber, a drizzle of olive oil, or additional herbs if desired.
Serve cold and enjoy this refreshing green soup!
