Gazpacho is a refreshing and healthy cold soup that originated in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia. It is typically made with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, garlic, and olive oil. Gazpacho can be served as a starter or main course, and it is a popular dish during the hot summer months. There are many different variations of gazpacho, but the basic ingredients remain the same. Some common variations include adding bread crumbs, hard-boiled eggs, or chopped ham. Gazpacho can also be made with different types of vegetables, such as zucchini, eggplant, or carrots.
The article provides recipes for three different variations of gazpacho:
* **Classic Gazpacho:** This is the basic recipe for gazpacho, made with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, garlic, and olive oil.
* **White Gazpacho:** This variation of gazpacho is made with white grapes instead of tomatoes. It has a lighter and more delicate flavor than classic gazpacho.
* **Green Gazpacho:** This variation of gazpacho is made with green tomatoes instead of red tomatoes. It has a tart and tangy flavor.
All three recipes are easy to follow and can be made in about 30 minutes. They are perfect for a light and refreshing meal on a hot summer day.

Steps:
- For the veggies: Heat the grill to 400 degrees F.
- Brush oil on the scallions, tomatillos and zucchini, then sprinkle them with salt and place over the direct heat of the grill. Cook, rotating or flipping occasionally, until everything chars and the tomatillos soften a bit, about 5 minutes.
- Blend and chill soup: Combine the scallions, tomatillos and zucchini in a blender, along with the yogurt, basil, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice and a nice pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add a handful of crushed ice and blend; this should fix it! Taste and season with salt, then taste again. Refrigerate at least four hours or up to overnight.
- Serve. Mix the yogurt and honey in a small bowl. Serve the soup in bowls and drizzle with the yogurt mixture, and a shake or two of the hot sauce.
