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.
This chilled soup recipe is made in just a few short minutes. After all, I would rather enjoy the sunny weather instead of spending time in the kitchen. Wouldn’t you?
You can never have too many summer squash recipes. What to do with zucchini in the summer keeps me busy that is for sure.
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.
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 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.

What a great take on regular gazpacho! I love the idea and I bet it tastes so refreshing. Nutritious and refreshing I am so looking forward to warm weather and going to a cold soup versus a hot one will be a nice change. I’m pinning!!

To be honest, I have never tried cold soup. Or even soup with zucchini in it! I am intrigued!
Homemade & Yummy
There is a first time for everything….hope you give it a try.

It’s funny… every time I eat a cold soup I have this moment of, “Ohmygod, it’s cold!” when I take the first bite, EVEN THOUGH I’m expecting it! I bet this one is delicious and I’d enjoy it (even after my momentary freakout)
Homemade & Yummy
HAHAHHA….see it took me THIS LONG to give cold soup a try too.
Sara
What a great idea! I’ve honestly never had a green gazpacho. I think I’ve only tried tomato and watermelon (I think people have to get pretty creative with the gazpacho sometimes – ha!) But this sounds so perfect for summer eating! I love zucchinis, so I absolutely have to give this a shot!
Homemade & Yummy
We it is a great addition to the zucchini collection for sure.
Anne Murphy
I’ve loved gazpacho for years, but the ones I’ve had have all been more tomato based. I need to try this variation! And I just got a spiralizer, and am having fun with texture… this looks just perfect.
Homemade & Yummy
Yes…for some reason the “tomato” version was not what I wanted to try for my first experience making and eating cold soup.
Kitty
I love a cold soup in the summer! Basil and zucchini are a great combo.
Homemade & Yummy
