Watermelon Gazpacho
Report
Watermelon gazpacho is a refreshing twist on Spain's classic chilled tomato soup. It's vegan, gluten free, and you only need to blend! In fact, it comes together so fast you’ll still have time for your afternoon siesta–just be sure to give it at least 1 hour to chill in your fridge.

Instructions
- Blend the soup. Add the chopped watermelon, tomatoes, cucumber, garlic, red pepper, green pepper, vinegar, olive oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper to a blender. Puree on high speed until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Depending on your blender’s capacity, you may need to work in batches.
- Chill the soup. Transfer the gazpacho to a large bowl or pitcher. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour, preferably overnight. With a longer rest, the flavors intensify.
- Just before serving: make the garnish. In a small bowl, toss together the diced watermelon, cucumber, green pepper, red onion, and herbs in a small bowl.
- Serve. Divide the soup among the 4 bowls. Top the soup with a small handful of the garnish. Drizzle with some extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with a grind of black pepper.
Notes
- A ripe, juicy watermelon is essential for the best flavor. Check out our How to Pick a Watermelon guide for all of our watermelon shopping tips.
- Watermelon isn’t the only summer fruit that works for this gazpacho recipe. Try swapping the same weight of fresh strawberries or pitted cherries in place of the watermelon.
