​CUCUMBER GAZPACHO RECIPE 

The best part of this cold cucumber soup recipe is that you’re going to throw all the ingredients into your high speed blender. We personally love Vita-Mix blenders (link to Amazon).

You can also use your food processor if you’d like, but a good blender is easier. 

Take your 1 1/2 English cucumbers and cut into rounds. Make your cucumber slices approximately one inch wide and place them right into your blender. Don’t worry too much about the size of the slices because they’re going to be blended anyway.

We like to use English cucumbers instead of regular cucumbers because the skin is thinner and you don’t have to worry about removing any seeds. Persian cucumbers would also be great to use if you’d like! 

Next, go ahead and add the 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt. We use 2% fat Greek yogurt, but non-fat or whole milk Greek yogurt will work too. 

Then place all the remaining ingredients right into the blender:

• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 peeled shallot,cut into slices
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice (you can also experiment with lime juice if you like that better)
• 1/4 cup loosely chopped fresh parsley
• 1/3 cup loosely chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons loosely chopped fresh tarragon
• 1 whole clove of garlic

Place lid on the blender and pulse it a few times until you see it start to mix at the bottom. Then turn it on high for 5-10 seconds until it’s uniformly blended or until you reach your desired consistency. 

This is a cold soup, so chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

EASY PEASY TIP: We love to store this refreshing cucumber gazpacho in a mason jar pitcher with a pouring spout lid. The pouring spout makes it easy to both store and serve! This can be stored in your refrigerator for a few days.

For best results, the flavor is richer if you make it a day before you plan on serving it. 

When you are ready to serve, take it out of the refrigerator, shake up your mason jar pitcher with pouring spout lid (or simply stir or shake whatever storage container you are using), and transfer right into your serving containers.

Serve in a small bowl with a dollop of sour cream and a little fresh dill to garnish if you’d like!

You can also add small pieces of extra cucumber on top for a little extra crunch and texture.

You can also serve this in little tea cups, small glasses (even shot glasses!), and your guests can simply sip it right out of the cup without using a spoon.
