Watch Me Make It
What is Gazpacho?
Gazpacho Andaluz is a delicious cold Spanish soup originating in Andalucia Spain.
While there are many variations of gazpacho, this Andalusian gazpacho is what most people would think of first. Gazpacho varies from recipe to recipe, region to region. It can be made with everything from watermelon or cherries, zucchini or beetroot. One of my favourite varieties is Cucumber Gazpacho. I did create an incredible recipe for our cookbook Keto Mojo.
This Thermomix Gazpacho can of course be made in any type of high-powered blender. If you do not have a blender or food processor you can hand chop the vegetables and “smush” them to make a chunky gazpacho. It tastes great no matter how you serve this delightfully fresh summer soup.

Fresh Tomatoes – the better the tasting tomatoes, the better the soup. I used Roma as they are more traditional, but you can really use any tomatoes you wish. I recommend removing the seeds to help make the soup deliciously thick.
Cucumber – continental or Lebanese cucumbers are best. They are acid-free and not bitter. I deseed before adding to the blender.
Green capsicum / green bell pepper – or green fresno peppers can be used.
Olive oil – extra-virgin olive oil (or extra virgin avocado oil) adds flavour and fats to this vegan gazpacho. I recommend using oil you know and love.
Bread – leave out completely for a keto gazpacho recipe. If using bread, a small amount of sourdough is perfect. Even without the breadless gazpacho is perfect so it is up to you.
Cumin – for me, ground cumin is essential. I do add a combination of paprika and cumin. Try it with or without and see which you prefer.
Extras
This is a vegan gazpacho soup, but you can top it with sour cream or creme fraiche. Crispy diced bacon, crumbled hard-boiled egg, and cheese add more protein and fat.
Fresh herbs and extra diced tomatoes, onions, or shallots make great garnishes.
HOT TIP: I like to freeze a portion of GAZPACHO ICE CUBES. Simply pour some of the blended soup into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze while the soup is chilling. Add gazpacho ice cubes to the soup when ready to serve.
How To Make Gazpacho in the Thermomix
Step 1. Use a spoon to deseed the tomatoes. Discard or reserve the seeds for another recipe.
Step 2. Deseed the cucumber and roughly chop. Add to the mixer bowl.
Step 3. Add remaining ingredients to mixer. Season to taste.
Step 4. Mix 3 minutes/speed 10. Scrape down the sides of the Thermomix bowl. Repeat if needed but 3 minutes should enough to make the soup light, smooth and creamy.
Step 5. Transfer to a bowl for chilling. Chill for 3-4 hours until very cold. Serve in a glass or bowl with garnishes.
Optional: Transfer 1/2 cup of the soup to a silicone ice cube tray. Freeze and use to serve with the chilled soup.
FAQs
Yes, you can. Seal in an airtight container and freeze. To defrost leave in the fridge overnight.
Best to consume within 1-3 days. Otherwise, freeze it.
