Nothing beats cold soup recipes for summer. Zucchini Noodle Gazpacho is a blender soup perfect for lunch, or an appetizer for a bbq party.

What Is Gazpacho?
I will straight up you tell you this is my first time making and eating gazpacho. Can you believe it? I guess I was still in the mindset that soup has to be HOT not cold.
Gazpacho is a cold soup that originated in Spain. For some strange reason, I thought it came from Italy. You can learn something new in the food world every day.
It contains a mixture of uncooked veggies, seasonings, and spices. You can also add nuts, breadcrumbs, yogurt, or sour cream to make it creamy.
It usually contains a tomato base. This recipe is a twist on the classic.
Some cookbooks classify gazpacho as a salad. Traditionally served as an appetizer.
Whatever class you want to put gazpacho in, I have finally found out it tastes DELICIOUS! I mean how can you not love it, especially this easy gazpacho recipe? Throw everything in a blender and call it dinner.
How To Make Zucchini Gazpacho
This has got to be the easiest soup ever. Have you ever made blender soup? So good.
In fact, when I make Cauliflower Blender Soup, or Pumpkin Soup in the blender, they taste like I have been simmering them all day long.
In a few short minutes, your soup is ready.
- Place all ingredients into a blender
- Blitz until smooth
- Chill until ready to serve
- Garnish
- Enjoy!!
You can eat it right away if you like. but I prefer to get it nice and chilled. Perfect for making the day before. If you want to eat it right away, you can add some ice in the blender along with the other ingredients.
I will say, you need a REALLY good blender for the best results. An immersion blender works well too.
Summer meals should be easy and delicious. This is the best gazpacho recipe ever. Give it a try and see for yourself.

Zucchini Noodle Gazpacho Cold Blender Soup
Ingredients
Soup Ingredients:
- 10 ounces sliced zucchini (skin on)
- 6 ounces sliced cucumber (skin on)
- 1/8 cup avocado oil
- 6-8 fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 ounce sun-dried tomatoes (in oil)
- salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Garnishes:
- zucchini noodles
- pea shoots
- parmesan crisps (crushed)
- Italian flavoured olive oil
Instructions
- Wash and slice the zucchini and cucumber and place into a blender.
- Add the rest of the soup ingredients into the blender. If you are going to eat the soup right away, you may want to add a handful or two of ice to the blender as well. This will chill the soup as you blitz it.
- Put the lid on and pulse until you reach your desired consistency.
- If you like you can pour the soup into bowls, garnish with desired items and eat.
- I placed the soup in the fridge for an hour or so to chill. You can leave it in the blender or put it into a sealed container.
- When ready to eat, pour the soup into serving bowls, add some zucchini noodles, pea shoots, crushed parmesan crisps and a few drops of Italian flavoured olive oil.
- ENJOY!

I am so doggone tired of winter! Here it is St. Patrick’s day and it’s snowing outside. ARGH!! So I started looking for spring and summer recipes. This zuccini noodle gazpacho is a soup that I know that we’ll all enjoy. Yum, then have something that was made on the grill. And of course dining outside. Well, I’m pinning the recipe – I made it last year and I didn’t pin. Now, I’ll have it. Thank you.

I have been done with winter for MONTHS!! At least the sun is shining!! I am in GRILLING mode…and once that stupid snow goes away…the BBQ will be cooking!!
