I definitely had the same feeling regarding gespacho. Now, I will be more willing to try it. Thank you for the explanation.
I’ve made this recipe so many times and it receives rave reviews each time love it!!!!
i don’t normally love gazpacho – but the strawberry element is very intriguing!
I recently found your blog through Instagram and just wanted to say hi and tell you how much I’m enjoying all your recipes. We’ll be trying this one soon, I’ve been kind of obsessed with slightly roasted tomatoes lately and think it would be a nice spin to this soup!!
Thanks for your kind words! We really appreciate it! I think roasted tomatoes in this would be divine! If you haven’t tried roasted strawberries before, they’re also amazing :)
I love strawberry and tomato in salads so this is totally up my alley!
I have never eat gazpacho with strawberry so I think I should try this recipe some day.
I made this tonight and it was so delish!
Ive had a more tomato-ey gazpacho and loved it….this one was very smoothie like. What made it totally work for me was the jalapeño….the sweet and the kick of spice worked so so well. And being that i made this in the morning and served it to my hubby with an early dinner…. is was perfect. I plan on making it again.
I LOVE this recipe. So fresh and such a fabulous summer dinner!
Loved this! My neighbor brought it to my house for a dinner party and it was fabulous! Have now made it twice myself. Would serve in shot glasses for a cocktail party and make the cheese a little thinner so it would swirl in the glass.
Love this recipe, gonna try substituting mangos for the strawberries, and maybe use a genuine Mexican fresco blended with crema Mexicana…! Mmmm….
the ingredient combo sounds very intriguing(?), but doesn’t traditional gazpacho have bread in it? I suppose bread would really not compliment the berry part of the recipe, I was just curious about that part. Making this recipe from grocery store dreck produce would be criminal, and unfortunately that is my only choice at the mo….still, will save this till I have enough courage to try growing my own veggies. thanx oodles for sharing!
Haha! I love you story and I too felt the same way, but I think you just convinced me to give it a try! Plus, It is too pretty not too!
I love this – fruit soups are so retro, and I love retro! Plus it looks delicious.
I have never tried gazpacho but this looks delicious! I bet it is the perfect summer food.
Interesting. I’ve always viewed gazpacho more like a finely-blended salsa, using basil instead of cilantro. But if you’re gonna use fruit, good call on the mint substitute. Sounds like a good dish.
I must try this! The gazpacho I make is a chunkier version, and of course, never with fruit…I’m intrigued! Yum!
I LOVE gazpacho in the summertime but never thought about adding strawberries! I bet it’s a great punch of sweet. Such a good idea- thanks!
I’ll admit that when I first heard of gazpacho I wasn’t enthralled with the idea either. But with my first spoonful, I learned it was a salad without the fuss. I love the stuff. Your adaptation looks fantastic.
Awesome! Strawberries and tomato…brilliant together! As for cold soup my first go at one was in the late 70’s when my brother and I worked summers at the local Six Flags (ok, it wasn’t a six flags then). I saw a cold potato soup on a calender and we decided we needed cold soup after working outside all day. There have been many cold soups that followed!
I’m planning on making this for my boyfriend, he would love it so much.
But is there anything I can use other than goat cheese for the garnish? He’s lactose intolerant :(
You can just sub it for a lactose-free cheese (usually found in the soy section of refrigerated goods)
You can stir in a little bit of coconut milk too if you want to add a touch of richness :)
Oh and actually you can use avocado purée too!
Love the idea of marrying strawberries and tomatoes!
