Watermelon Gazpacho

May 25, 2015 by Judy 15 Comments

Watermelon Gazpacho is a perfect soup for hot summer days.  Light, crisp and refreshing!I originally posted this recipe for Watermelon Gazpacho when I first started this blog back in June of 2013. I made it again this past week and it’s so good, I wanted to re-share it with you since I’m sure no one ever saw it before. That’s probably a good thing since the original photos; well… let’s just say they didn’t make you want to run to the kitchen to make this gazpacho!

It’s no secret around here that I love gazpacho, whether it’s the more traditional Gazpacho or Green Gazpacho, any flavor works for me! I like to make this Watermelon Gazpacho in the summer when I have a big ol’ watermelon and want something other than just a slice of watermelon or watermelon salad.   I can’t claim this recipe to be one of my own, I found the original recipe online from Soup Chick and it’s quite delicious.  Every time I’ve made it in the past I never even tweaked it a bit!  This last time I played around with the recipe a tiny bit and it was just as delicious so I’ll give you those options in the recipe below as well.  

Watermelon GazpachoYou might be thinking, Watermelon Gazpacho? Really?  Yes, really.  It’s really, really good!  This recipe is super easy to make.  Gazpacho is a perfect soup to make on a hot summer day.  No cooking required!  Just chop up the watermelon and veggies, add the seasonings and blend it all up together. You can puree it or leave it a little chunkier, whichever you prefer.  Just be sure to refrigerate it for several hours before serving so the flavors will have time to all meld together in perfect yumminess.

watermelon gazpachoWhether you try the original recipe (outstanding), or add in a few extra ingredients like I did (yummy as well but a little bit more like regular gazpacho), I’m sure you’re gonna love Watermelon Gazpacho!

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • ¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar (2 Tbls. white balsamic vinegar)

  • Fresh black pepper
I also added:
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tsp. cumin
Instructions
  1. Combine ingredients in large bowl. Use an immersion blender to blend ingredients to desired texture. You could use a food processor or blender to do this as well.
  2. Refrigerate for several hours (or overnight) to let flavors combine.
  3. Taste and adjust salt, pepper and tobasco, if necessary.

    Hi Judy, the recipe looks great. Will definitely try it! Just wanted to point out a slight “spell check” error. That darn spell check! Your last sentence of the recipe states that you can additional “tobacco” rather than Tabasco. While I enjoy a bit of tobacco every now and then, I don’t like it in my soup!!! Just kidding!
    Thanks for all your posts! Your recipes are always delicious.

    I made a cantaloupe gazpacho a few weeks ago and have been wondering what to do with a watermelon one! I’ll be trying this soon!

    I can’t wait to try this! Last summer we had a seed spitting contest and ended up with some watermelons in our back yard. I always have watermelon on hand and this looks so delicious!

    What a unique twist on gazpacho! I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of traditional gazpacho but I want to try this variation and have pinned for later, thank you!

      If you’re not ahuge fan of regular gazpacho try the recipe without the addition of tomatoes, cumin etc. first.
