Nothing beats cold soup recipes for summer. Zucchini Noodle Gazpacho is perfect for patio dining.
This chilled blender soup is so easy to make. Green gazpacho is a healthy, low-carb recipe.
Cold soup made with raw zucchini and cucumbers blended into a delicious summer gazpacho topped with zucchini noodles. Refreshing, with vibrant flavours for a light and healthy meal.
Summer eating is easy and fun. Try these zucchini burgers or this Caesar Zucchini Salad too. Perfect summer raw zucchini recipes.

You can never have too many summer squash recipes. What to do with zucchini in the summer keeps me busy that is for sure.

Raw zucchini is delicious and a great summer vegetable to enjoy in so many tasty recipes. Have you tried pickled zucchini ribbons? Such a great summer condiment. Super easy homemade refrigerator pickles.

What Is Gazpacho?
I will straight up 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 it is served as an appetizer. I can make a meal of this with a simple side.
Easy Zucchini 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.
In a few short minutes, your soup is ready.
- Place all ingredients into a blender.
- Blitz until smooth.
- Chill until ready to serve.
- Garnish.
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.

Summer Zucchini Gazpacho
Ingredients
Soup Ingredients:
- 10 ounces sliced zucchini (skin on)
- 6 ounces sliced cucumber (skin on)
- ⅛ cup avocado oil
- 6-8 fresh basil leaves
- ½ ounce sun-dried tomatoes (in oil)
- salt & pepper (to taste)
- ¼ 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.

I love soup!! It doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold. There is such a satisfaction of sipping slowly and thoroughly tasting each spoonful. I’ve never tried a zucchini noodle gazpacho although I have had the tomato version and thoroughly loved it. I’ll have to sneak this by Hubby — he’s a lot like your former train of thought — soup should be hot. I’ll convince him otherwise.

HAHHA…well sometimes you CAN teach old dogs NEW tricks….hope he likes it.

omg I am dying for a nice chilled soup for the summer time! I love soups but it gets a little too warm for it in the summer. I’ve never tried zucchini soup growing up and now I’m loving it. This colour is also perfect for summer!
Homemade & Yummy

I love a great gazpacho and using zucchini is a perfect summer recipe. I grow a lot of zucchini and I am always looking for new ways for my family to enjoy its amazing flavors. Such a great way to use zucchini in this gazpacho. We travel all summer for lacrosse for our daughter and I need healthy easy travel meals. This is a hit for easy travel meals.

I love this recipe! I would like this as a lunch on-the-go, in a mug, that I could eat/drink in the car. I love that you call it a chunky smoothie, that makes eating a “cold soup” make more sense! Ha.
I have a spiralizer that is collecting dust that I can use for this recipe garnish.
