Green Goddess Gazpacho

This Green Goddess Gazpacho is filled with cucumber, herbs, scallions, jalapeño for a little kick, and lemon juice! Its thick, luxuriously creamy consistency comes from avocado and Greek yogurt, and it’s the most perfect light and refreshing soup!

Green Goddess Gazpacho
I’m not much of a soup person, but when it comes to cold, refreshing gazpacho, I’m all in. Especially when the color is this dreamy. Who wouldn’t want to eat this bowl of beauty like this? It’s perfect for Spring, and we FINALLY got some warmer days this weekend. It was glorious. We went from 40 to 80 in the span of a couple days. Typical Maryland.

The creaminess in this soup comes from avocado and Greek yogurt. It’s the epitome of spring with the dill, cucumber, lemon, and soft green hue. It’s also perfect for summer because it has basil in it too!

It also could not be simpler.

You literally just whirl everything in a blender and that’s it! I love to top it with extra cucumber for some crunch, fresh dill, and a drizzle of olive oil and thinned out Greek yogurt.

I think it’s almost too pretty to eat. Almost.

If you wanted to make this vegan, you could totally sub dairy free yogurt, and it would work. It may not be quite as thick because I used Greek yogurt, but it should be just as delicious!

This would be perfect for a spring brunch with your girlfriends, or a light lunch or dinner.

I wasn’t sure how long this would keep in the fridge, because of the avocado, and I wasn’t sure how the cucumber would hold up in the soup, but I ate it for a week and it was still delicious on the 7th day! So you could totally make this ahead of time and keep it in the fridge!

Green Goddess Gazpacho

I absolutely love having easy lunches prepped during the week, because I can just go to the fridge and eat when I’m ready. This soup is SO perfect for that, and I’ve been really into making hearty chopped salads that are already dressed, so I don’t have to chop a million veggies and assemble a salad when I am HANGRY for lunch. You know?

Green Goddess Gazpacho

I am SO incredibly excited for Spring. Can you tell?

I promise I’ll stop talking your ear off about it. Also, this is perfect for Meatless Monday!
