Watermelon gazpacho

This watermelon gazpacho is adapted from Juice Manifesto by Andrew Cooper (Chronicle Books, 2016)

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Total Time: 15 Minutes, plus 2 to 3 hours to chill

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups cubed watermelon (1-inch cubes)
  • celery stalks, roughly chopped
  • 3 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • ½ English/hothouse cucumber, roughly chopped 
  • red bell peppers, roughly chopped
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (see note)
  • ½ a red chile pepper
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Handful fresh basil leaves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Set aside 3-4 cubes of watermelon, a couple of celery pieces, and a few leaves of basil to use as a garnish for the soup.
  2. Put the remaining ingredients into a blender (if you run out of room, blend the vegetables for a few seconds to make more space for the other ingredients). Pulse until it reaches a soup-like consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Chill in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours before serving. Finely chop the reserved watermelon, celery and basil. Pour the gazpacho into bowls or glasses and top with garnishes.
  3. Note: Check out easy guidance on how to peel, grate, and chop fresh ginger here.
  4. Note: If you touch the seeds of the chile pepper, just be sure to wash your hands well and avoid touching your eyes.
