This gazpacho soup recipe blends romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, cilantro and lemon into a chilled, no-cook soup in 5 minutes. I sneak in 2 cups of greens and nobody notices. Spoon it from a bowl or sip it from a glass with olive oil.
In a blender, blend the romaine, cilantro and tomatoes until smooth.
Add the cucumber, bell pepper, lemon juice and salt and pulse to your desired consistency, leaving a few chunks if you like.
Notes
Ripeness Tip: Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor.
Seasoning Tip: Taste before serving and add more salt or lemon juice as needed; cold soups need a little extra seasoning.
Serving Ideas: Serve at room temperature, or chill for 1 hour. Top with chopped cucumber, tomato, cilantro and diced avocado, a lemon wedge and a drizzle of olive oil.
Storing: Leftovers keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir before serving, since it can separate.
