Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium English cucumbers
- 1 cup Almonds (blanched and unsalted)
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 1 slice White bread (crust removed, torn into pieces)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Ice cubes (optional, for chilling)
Instructions
Peel the cucumbers, slice them lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Chop the cucumbers into small pieces and set aside.
In a blender, combine the chopped cucumbers, almonds, yogurt, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar, cold water, kosher salt, and white pepper.
Add the torn bread slice into the blender to help thicken the soup. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or pepper, if needed.
If the mixture is too thick, add more cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Transfer the gazpacho to a bowl or pitcher and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For faster chilling, add a few ice cubes to the blender while blending.
Serve the gazpacho in chilled bowls or glasses. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
