Simple Vegan Beet Gazpacho

Recipe Description

Luscious and bright, this Simple Vegan Beet Gazpacho is a delicious take on gazpacho, a traditional Spanish cold soup. In this rendition, cooked beets, red onions, cucumbers, fresh dill, and garlic are whirred in a blender with vegetable stock and red wine vinegar, coming together into a showstopper soup. Then it is served chilled with an array of garnishes such as avocado, fresh herbs, and extra-virgin olive oil. So simple but oh so delicious!       

Start with the beets. Boil them until fork-tender, then run under cold water and peel off the skins. Once you’ve boiled and sliced the beets, the whole recipe comes together in a snap with the help of your food processor (or blender). Blend the beets with the remaining ingredients until very smooth. Adjust the consistency of the soup with additional vegetable broth or water if desired, then taste and adjust the salt, black pepper, and vinegar to suit your taste. Chill until ready to serve and enjoy!      

To make the Simple Vegan Beet Gazpacho, you will need the following ingredients:
