Green gaspacho

medium_greengaspacho.jpgWith the spring comes back the time of cold soup, vegetable juice and gaspacho of all sort.

In the last weeks I have tested new combinations of raw vegetable, using the blender at different speed so that the texture is different. Sometimes with bigger chunks, more like purée, sometimes more like soup. I make one bottle (approx. 1 liter) of the preparation, and I have it fresh and ready all day long in the fridge.

For one bottle, the base is always the same: 2 or 3 tomatoes, 1/2 cucumber, 1 onion. Then I add everything that comes to my hand: lettuce, parsley, fennel, spinach, green or yellow pepper, maybe a spoon of ginger paste, etc. I add also about 2 glasses of wate, some olive oil, salt and pepper, blend it and enjoy!

I really like this idea, thanks again for the inspiration :) Though your weather must be better than hours round here, it´s been raining and gray, not yet gaspacho weather ...
