This zucchini noodle gazpacho recipe will certainly be a welcome rotation during the summer months. You can never have too many zucchini recipes, and I LOVE making zucchini noodles too. Do you call them noodles or zoodles? I refer to them both ways. Check out my Greek Zoodle Salad, or Zucchini Noodles with Shrimp.

What is Gazpacho?

Ok, 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. Even when I told my husband that I was going to give this gazpacho soup recipe a try, he gave me that “deer in the headlights look”. See he is in that mindset too.

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.

Some cookbooks classify gazpacho as a salad. That might take a bit more convincing for me. I would classify it as a want-to-be smoothie, LOL. In fact, that is how I explained it to my daughter (who thinks soup should be hot). I said it was like eating a chunky smoothie.

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. I have even convinced my husband that in fact soup can be eaten cold, he LOVED it! Now I have to work on my daughter.

How to make Zucchini Noodle Gazpacho Blender Soup

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. I will say, you need a REALLY good blender for the best results. An immersion blender works well too.

For this zucchini gazpacho soup, place all the ingredients in the blender and pulse until you reach your desired consistency. That’s it. In a few short minutes, your soup is ready.

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.
