Things You’ll Need for Gazpacho with Avocado

To prepare this recipe for Spanish soup you will need green tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, cold water, minced garlic, and green bell pepper as the main ingredients.

Similar to other Spanish cold soups, you will need an immersion blender, food processor, or regular blender so that the gazpacho with avocado reaches its creamy and smooth texture.

Ingredients

• 5 large green tomatoes
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 cup (240ml) cold water
• 1 cucumber
• 1 green bell pepper
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons lime juice

• 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

How to Make Gazpacho with Avocado – Step by Step Guide

1. To start, wash the green tomatoes and bell peppers, cut them in half, discard the seeds, then chop them into small pieces. Peel and dice the cucumber and avocado, and also mince the garlic cloves. You can save some of the cucumber and avocado to top the soup later.

2. After that, grab a blender or food processor, and combine the chopped green tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, bell pepper, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).

3. Now, blend the Spanish soup until smooth, adding cold water gradually to achieve your desired consistency. Taste it and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or pepper as desired.

4. Once the gazpacho avocado cucumber reaches the right consistency for you, transfer it to a large bowl or individual serving bowls. Chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

5. Your Spanish soup recipe is now ready, so feel free to garnish each bowl with chopped cilantro, diced avocado, and croutons. You can now serve the gazpacho with avocado cold and enjoy.

Substitution of Ingredients

This is the best green gazpacho recipe that you can find, yet there are some changes that you can make to its ingredients if you are looking to customize it.

You can add more vegetables to this green gazpacho, but to stay on theme, we recommend that you include ingredients such as celery, green onions, or fresh spinach leaves, to contribute to the vibrant color. 

The avocado already adds an amazing creaminess to this cucumber avocado gazpacho, but if you want to make it even richer, you can incorporate a splash of coconut milk or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

If you like the sweet and savory combination in just one dish, you can blend this green gazpacho recipe with others like the Peach And Tomato Gazpacho or the watermelon tomato gazpacho, for added freshness and a different flavor profile.

Tips on Serving Gazpacho with Avocado

This gazpacho with avocado can work as a main dish or as a side one; it depends on what you’re looking for, and all you have to do is adapt the portion size accordingly.

First, you can top the gazpacho with avocado pieces to stay true to its creamy texture while adding a fresh burst of flavor. 

Now if you want to play with the texture of this avocado cucumber gazpacho, you can top it with bread croutons, toasted nuts, or even crunchy diced vegetables like green bell peppers or celery.

For a super-filling avocado gazpacho, you should pair it with some protein such as chopped boiled eggs, grilled chicken breasts, shrimp, or beef.

If you were looking for gazpachos that have some extra sweetness, or could blend better with a dessert, then you must check other Spanish soup recipes that we have for you, like the cold pear soup, the gazpacho de mango, and the pineapple gazpacho.

How to Store Gazpacho with Avocado

If you have the option to enjoy the gazpacho with avocado fresh, that would be the best way to experience its vibrant flavors and creamy texture, if not, then you can store it in your fridge.

In that case, once you finish making the avocado gazpacho recipe, place it in a bowl or container, cover it with plastic wrap on contact with the top (so that it doesn’t form a crust), and a lid.

After that, store the cold Spanish soup for up to 3 days in the fridge, just be sure to stir it before serving, and consider blending it again if it loses its creamy texture.

Other Spanish soups that you can make and store in the fridge are the luscious blueberry cold soup and the refreshing summer fruit soup.
