Things You’ll Need for Green Tomato Avocado Gazpacho

To prepare this green tomato avocado gazpacho you need white onions, green bell and jalapeño peppers, garlic, olive oil, and of course, green tomatoes and avocado.

Like any other authentic Spanish gazpacho, you need a blender, food processor, or a similar kitchen appliance to make it.

Ingredients

• 1kg green tomatoes
• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 cucumber
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 white onion
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 jalapeño pepper
• 2 cups (480ml) water
• 1 slice of stale bread
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
• Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Green Tomato Avocado Gazpacho – Step by Step Guide

1. To start with the green tomato gazpacho recipe, wash the tomatoes under cold water. Chop them and discard the seeds. In the meantime, soak the slice of bread in the water.

2. Now grab the bell and jalapeño pepper, cut them in half, and discard the seeds. Then chop them into small pieces. Peel and chop the cucumber, also discarding the seeds.

3. After that, peel and chop the white onion, removing the core. Peel and mince the garlic. Keep in mind that you can use more onions or garlic cloves if you want their flavor to be stronger in this green tomato avocado gazpacho.

4. Then, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and with the help of a spoon separate the peel and discard it.

5. For the next step, you have to use a blender or food processor to mix all of the vegetables until you get a smooth yet thick mixture.

6. Now add the water with the bread (you can strain the bread before or just let it as it is), and blend until combined. Then add in the tablespoons of vinegar and drizzle the olive oil in a constant stream as you blend. Also, add the seasoning and the chopped fresh basil leaves.

7. Remember that for a thicker green gazpacho, you could add more avocado or another slice of bread. For a more liquid one add 1/2 cup of water and so on until it reaches the right consistency. 

8. After that, taste the easy tomato gazpacho and add more seasoning if necessary. Transfer it to a bowl, cover it, and take it to the fridge for 2 hours to chill.

9. Finally, stir the Spanish chilled soup and pour it into small bowls, deep plates, or gazpacho shots to serve it. Optionally, you can top each green tomato avocado gazpacho serving with clean mint leaves for extra freshness.

Substitution of Ingredients

We simply love this easy gazpacho soup recipe, but one of its strongest aspects is the amount of ingredient replacements that you can make.

As long as you have tomatoes, a mix of vegetables, olive oil, and some water you have everything you need to make a Spanish cold tomato soup, which leaves you a lot of room to play with the ingredients.

If the idea of a green gazpacho recipe sounds good to you but you aren’t the biggest fan of green tomatoes, then you can go for a cucumber avocado gazpacho with regular tomatoes.

For something more similar to a spicy gazpacho you can add more jalapeño peppers, or other hotter spices like red pepper flakes, paprika, or even 1/4 teaspoon of wasabi.

For a creamier green tomato avocado gazpacho you can add more avocado, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, or a few tablespoons of cream cheese.

You can prepare this gazpacho with canned tomatoes, but it might not be that easy to find good-quality canned green tomatoes, so we recommend sticking to the fresh ones for this recipe.

Tips on Serving Green Tomato Avocado Gazpacho

This green tomato soup can be served at lunch or dinner, and it works as a main dish, as a side one, or as an appetizer.

You can take this Spanish soup served cold to the next level by topping it with bacon bits, bread croutons, or toasted bread with garlic and olive oil.

Besides that, the chilled Spanish soup can be topped with some protein like chopped hard-boiled eggs or grilled and chopped chicken breasts to make it more filling.

If you serve it in smaller portions then you can serve this dish as tapas with other Spanish cold soups like the cold vegetable soup or the Spanish zucchini gazpacho.

How to Store Green Tomato Avocado Gazpacho

You can store the green tomato avocado gazpacho for up to 3 days in the fridge, you just have to place it in a covered container and stir it before serving.

It is better if you place it in a bowl covered with plastic wrap in contact with the top of the soup, so it doesn’t form a crust on top.

Although you can’t freeze the avocado tomato soup, there are other Andalusian soups that you can, like the cold asparagus soup and the cold cauliflower soup.

Still, this fresh gazpacho recipe is done in less than 25 minutes plus the cooling time (that you can speed up in the freezer), so we recommend enjoying it the same day that you prepare it.
