Description
Yellow Gazpacho is a light, chilled soup made with vibrant yellow vegetables like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and sweet corn. It’s vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free, perfect for summer days.
Ingredients
2 medium/large yellow bell peppers, roughly chopped (about 3 cups)
12 ounces yellow cherry tomatoes, halved (about 2 cups)
3 ears sweet corn, kernels and milk
2 teaspoons mild/sweet miso
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon finely diced shallots (about half of a medium shallot)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Zest from half of a lemon
2 tablespoons minced herbs (cilantro, tarragon, mint, or your favorite)
Edible flowers, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, loosen the miso by mixing it with 1 tablespoon of hot tap water. Add the liquids (white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and water), salt, shallots, lemon zest, and minced herbs. Stir to combine.
- Add the yellow bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and corn to the bowl and mix with the marinade. Let rest for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Transfer the mixture into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve for extra smoothness if desired.
- Refrigerate the gazpacho for at least 15 minutes (or longer) to chill.
- Serve the chilled gazpacho garnished with edible flowers if desired.
Notes
- Experiment with different herbs like basil or parsley if cilantro is not your favorite.
- Add crunchy toppings like croutons or nuts for texture.
- Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a spicier kick.
- For a fruity twist, add yellow watermelon to enhance the sweetness.
- If miso is unavailable, use tamari or soy sauce for a similar umami flavor.
