Instructions
- Cut watermelon. Discard any seeds if it has and chop into pieces.
- Deseed tomatoes (optional step). And dice it.
- Seed and dice cucumbers. You can peel the skin as well. I prefer to keep the skin on English cucumbers.
- Chop red bell peppers (remove the seeds).
- Dice red onions.
- Peel a garlic clove.
- Chop jalapeno.
- To the jar of blender add the watermelon, red bell peppers, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno chiles, garlic, mint leaves, pepper and salt to taste. Cover and liquefy.
- Add olive oil, red wine vinegar and pulse.
- Puree the soup to desired consistency. You can keep it chunky and coarse or you can blend it until it’s smooth.
- Taste and season if it needs extra salt or pepper.
- Refrigerate watermelon gazpacho for atleast one hour to 4 hours, so it’s chilled. You can even make it a day ahead and chill it in fridge.
- Pour chilled gazpacho into bowls/glasses.
- Garnish with few chopped pieces of watermelon, red bell peppers, cucumber, onion and mint leaves sprig. Sprinkle some ground pepper on top. Drizzle few drops of olive oil.
- Serve with some croutons or as it is.
Notes
- Nutritional Info - Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Use ripe seedless watermelon for the best taste. If you can't find seedless watermelon, use regular watermelon and remove the seeds using a tweezer or fork.
- This soup is best served chilled.
- Sometimes the acidity in the gazpacho can give off bitterness. A sprinkle of sugar will take off the bitterness from the watermelon gazpacho.
- If you prefer more heat, add jalapeno with seeds. Feel free to skip jalapenos if you can't handle the heat.
- To thicken the soup, soak a day-old white bread, trim the edges off, and soak in water until softened. Squeeze out the water and add it to the blend with the rest of the ingredients and blend, it'll thicken the soup. If you want low-carb soup, omit bread.
