Recipe adapted from this recipe found on BBC Good Food
- 1 large cucumber – peeled, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 1 small or 1/2 large avocado – scooped from skin and roughly chopped
- 1/2 large yellow bell pepper – deseeded and roughly chopped
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 4 green onions – green and white parts (down to the root) – roughly chopped
- juice of one large lemon
- 4-5 dashes Tabasco sauce
- 1/3 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
- 1/3 cup cold water – you can add more if you’d like a thinner soup
- salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp. fat free plain Greek yogurt and fresh snipped chives – optional – for garnish
- In a high capacity food processor, blender or Vitamix, combine all ingredients except for the garnishes. If you need to thin the gazpacho out or just want a thinner soup, you can add more water at this step. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving – this is a soup that needs to be cold. Before serving, garnish with a dollop of yogurt (optional) and some snipped fresh chives or mint leaves. This soup will hold 2-3 days in a tightly sealed container in the fridge.
