AVOCADO AND HEIRLOOM TOMATO GAZPACHO



Avocado and Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho image

Gazpacho is like salsa's big sister (many of the ingredients are the same), but "gazpacho" is much more fun to say. For a twist on textures, I leave a small portion of the soup in chunky, diced pieces and blend the rest with creamy avocado until velvety smooth.

Tips:

  • Make sure your avocados are ripe. Ripe avocados will be a deep, dark green color and will yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil has the best flavor and will give your gazpacho a richer taste.
  • Don't over blend the gazpacho. You want it to be smooth, but not too thick. A few small chunks of avocado and tomato are okay.
  • Serve the gazpacho chilled. This soup is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish the gazpacho with fresh herbs or vegetables. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your soup.

Conclusion:

This creamy avocado gazpacho is a refreshing and delicious soup that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and flavorful soup, give this creamy avocado gazpacho a try.
