Yogurt gazpacho
4 servings
60 minutes
Yogurt gazpacho is a refreshing and light cold soup inspired by classic Spanish gazpacho but with a refined dairy twist. Its roots trace back to Andalusian cuisine, where gazpacho is traditionally made from vegetables, olive oil, and vinegar. The addition of yogurt makes the flavor soft, velvety, and unusual, mellowing the sharpness of garlic and the richness of fresh vegetables. The soup is perfect for a hot summer day — served chilled with parsley ice cubes for elegance and extra freshness. Yogurt gazpacho can be served as a standalone dish or a light appetizer before the main course. The wonderful combination of sweet red pepper, juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumber, and aromatic herbs makes it a gastronomic delight that can surprise and please any gourmet.
