Cool refreshing watermelon gazpacho is loaded with nutrients from fruits and vegetables. Cold soups are one of the best summer treats and this elegant summer soup is perfect for hot summer days.

This is by far the simplest and fastest soup you’ll ever make.  A perfect cold soup for hot summer days which involves no cooking. Simply chop all ingredients, put all into a blender, and it’s done! A refreshing soup loaded with flavors and packed with nutrients and vitamins.

Gazpacho tastes best when served chilled. That’s the only hard part, waiting for the soup to chill. As the soup sits in the fridge, all the flavors blend in and makes the soup taste best! Gazpacho is perfect for days when you want to spend less time prepping a meal, instead of sweating it out in the kitchen.

Yes, this cold summer soup can be a light summer meal in itself. Though it’s usually served as an appetizer.

If you are a classic gazpacho fan, then you should try this watermelon gazpacho. It would soon become your summer favorite.  It’s so summery, refreshing and perfect soup to cool down on hot summer days to quench your thirst. This watermelon gazpacho is a life saver in this scorching heat.

The flavors of this soup will blow your mind and taste buds away. The fresh sweetness of watermelon, tartness from tomatoes, mild kick from jalapenos, flavor form garlic, freshness from mint leaves.  A delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors in gazpacho is perfect match.

Watermelon Gazpacho Ingredients

Simple, fresh summer produce is all you need for this recipe.  The key ingredients are

Watermelon  – Seedless fully ripe watermelon is the best the choice. If you do have seeds in the watermelon, try removing them as much as you can.

Cucumber – English cucumbers are great. The ones that are firm will add perfect texture to the cold soup.

Roma Tomato – Ripe but firm tomatoes are best. Gazpacho’s key ingredients in tomatoes.

Red Bell Pepper – Remove seeds. Adds both sweet and savory taste to the soup.

Red Onion – For more depth of flavors.

Garlic – Just a clove of garlic to enhance it’s flavors. Since the soup is raw, too much garlic will make it taste funky.

Fresh Mint – This soup is all about freshness. A handful of fresh mint adds flavor, taste and amazing freshness to the soup. You can swap mint with fresh basil as well. Watermelon and basil is as good as watermelon and mint.

Jalapeno – For a hint of heat in the soup, use jalapenos.

Salt & Pepper – for seasoning, adjust according to your taste.

Olive oil – Extra virgin olive oil is best option.

Red Wine Vinegar (or sherry vinegar).

How To Make Watermelon Gazpacho

  1. Cut watermelon. Discard any seeds if it has and chop into pieces.
  2. Seed tomatoes (optional step). And dice it.
  3. Seed and dice cucumbers. You can peel the skin as well. I prefer to keep the skin on English cucumbers.
  4. Chop red bell peppers (remove the seeds).
  5. Dice red onions.
  6. Peel a garlic clove. Chop jalapeno.
  7. To the jar of blender add the watermelon, red bell peppers, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno chilies, garlic, mint leaves, pepper and salt to taste. Puree.
  8. Add olive oil, red wine vinegar and pulse.
  9. Puree the soup to desired consistency. You can keep it chunky and coarse or you can blend it until it’s smooth.
  10. Taste and season if it needs extra salt or pepper. Refrigerate watermelon gazpacho for minimum one hour to 4 hours, so it’s chilled. You can even make it a day ahead and chill it in fridge.
  11. Pour chilled gazpacho into bowls/glasses.
  12. Garnish with few chopped pieces of watermelon, red bell peppers, cucumber, onion and mint leaves sprig. Sprinkle some ground pepper on top. Drizzle few drops of olive oil.
  13. Serve with some croutons or as it is.

    I made this and it was a delicious summer soup. It was a nice change from a more traditional Gazpacho. Will make again. For those who want more heat, you could use the whole jalapeño, or leave in the seeds from the half pepper.

    I love this idea! I don’t usually like classic gazpacho because I feel like it’s too acidic — but adding watermelon will definitely cut the acid. Brilliant!
