  1. To start with this avocado soup recipe, you must wash, peel and cut the cucumber, apple, and avocado. It doesn’t matter what size the cuts are as they will be shredded later, it is simply to make it easier to process everything in the blender.
  1. Now take the cut vegetables and fruit, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and seasonings to a bowl or container of your food processor or blender.
  1. With the help of the blender or a food processor, blend everything until it has a creamy consistency. If you want it to be more liquid add one tablespoon of water and if you want it thicker add more avocado.
  1. This is a chilled avocado soup, so you have to take it to the fridge for at least 30 minutes before eating it, even though it’s better if you can leave it longer. If you don’t have that much time, take it for 15 minutes to the freezer.

Substitution of Ingredients

One of my favorite things about this gazpacho de pepino recipe is that you can make as many changes as you like, and you’ll still have a wonderful gazpacho as a result.

For example, you can eliminate the apples and add pears instead. Or add other vegetables such as leek, carrots, etc.

Besides that, if you want a keto gazpacho then you’re in the right place! The recipe is already keto, but you can easily replace the oil with another type of oil of your choice and that’s between keto guidelines.
