Description

This Yellow Tomato Jalapeño Gazpacho is a refreshing cold soup with a spicy kick from yellow Thai chili and a fresh twist from cilantro, perfect for hot summer days.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 3/4 lb (790 g) yellow tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chopped seeded peeled cucumber
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chopped yellow bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) orange juice
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 medium jalapeño chili with seeds, chopped (about 1 tbsp)
  • Garnish with cubes of avocado, thinly shaved onion and meaty cubes of heirloom tomato.

Cilantro Oil

  • 2 cups (480 ml) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) olive oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 medium jalapeño chili with seeds, chopped (about 1 tbsp)
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water

Instructions

  1. Squeeze the tomato juices and seeds into a strainer set over a bowl. Press on the seeds to extract all the juice. Discard the seeds and set the juice aside.
  2. Chop the tomatoes and set aside 1/2 cup of the chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup of the cucumber, and 1/4 cup of the bell pepper for garnish.
  3. In a blender, combine the remaining tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, orange juice, olive oil, white wine vinegar, and the chopped yellow Thai chili (if using). Blend until smooth.
  4. Season the gazpacho with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the spiciness by adding more chili if desired.
  5. Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until very cold.
  6. Before serving, stir in the reserved tomato juice. Serve the gazpacho in bowls or shot glasses, garnished with the reserved chopped vegetables and fresh cilantro.
