The inspiration for this Spanish recipe series is my wife’s birthday celebration. The other appetizers I served for this dinner included SPANISH MARINATED ARTICHOKES and a SPANISH TORTILLA. I started my Spanish dinner with this Green Gazpacho Soup. I have never been a fan of gazpacho soup but that all changed with this recipe. The soup is aptly named because almost all the ingredients are green. GO FIGURE! The soup has so much flavor from natural ingredients, heat from jalapenos and creaminess from avocados.
Green Gazpacho Soup
Since it is a cold soup, it is super easy to prepare. Literally, the ingredients are all placed in a blender and pureed until smooth and creamy. The green ingredients include avocados, green onions, fennel (the stalks are green), green onions, tomatillos, spinach, cucumbers, jalapenos, limes and basil. That is a lot of green. The remaining ingredients are honey, salt and sherry. The flavor is so natural from all these fresh ingredients. The taste was amazing.
As you can see from my step by step pictures, the ingredients barely, or actually, do not all fit in the blender at one time. I filled the blender as much as I could and began blending. Ultimately, all I need to do was blend the ingredients in batches. After all the green veggies were blended with the honey, salt and sherry, the final step is to blend the avocados. This Green Gazpacho Soup is so, so good and (Don’t tell anyone) so good for you.

After preparing your vegetables, begin to add to your blender. No need to overcrowd but I did. Simply work in batches until all the soup is blended to the desired consistency.

Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Remove as many of the seeds as you like from the jalapenos based on how spicy you like it.
