Watermelon Gazpacho is light and refreshing. It is healthy, low fat and very easy to digest, sweet and spicy in taste. Watermelon Gazpacho has perfect for a summer soup. Actually this Gazpacho is much like tomato gazpacho, only by replacing tomato with watermelon. It has an essence watermelon, cucumber and tomato. In my version, we are still using some tomatoes, so you get a little bit of tomato flavor in the soup, along with cucumber, onion, and bell pepper.
When I first heard about of gazpacho; I was wondering, cold gazpacho??? And you must be surprise too… To be honest, for years I didn’t enjoy gazpacho and oddly enough I love cold tomatoes, cool cucumbers, and every ingredient that typically makes up this dish; but the phrase ‘cold soup’ left me feeling ehhh. I would say it is one of best soup will make you wonder on its taste and drown into the amazing flavor.
