Gazpacho is dish that originated in the south of Spain, in Andalusia, and the Algarve region of Portugal. It is a cold soup that is made from raw vegetables. Light and refreshing, it makes for a great lunch or a starter to a Mediterranean meal.
These are the ingredients you need to make this Mediterranean classic:
 Ingredients
- 1 kg ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 shallot
- 1 teaspoon Alver Golden Chlorella Easy Protein
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Quarter the tomatoes and remove the stems. Peel and roughly chop the cucumber, shallots, and garlic.
- Combine the Tomatoes and Alver Golden Chlorella Vegan Protein: Put all the tomato pieces and Easy Protein into a food processor or blender.
- Make the Gazpacho: Add the cucumber, shallots, garlic, vinegar, and a half teaspoon of salt.
- Process continuously until the ingredients are liquified. A food processor will make gazpacho with more texture; a blender will make the gazpacho smoother.
- Blend in the Olive Oil: With the blender running, stream in the olive oil. This helps it emulsify more evenly into the soup.
- Taste and Adjust Seasonings: Taste the soup. Add salt or vinegar to taste. If you’ would like it thinner, blend in a little water.
- Chill the Soup: Transfer the soup to a storage container and refrigerate until chilled.
Note: This soup often tastes better the second day after the flavors have had time to fully develop and settle. Serve the soup garnished with basil leaves.Â
