Green Gazpacho
A Spanish gazpacho usually has tomatoes in it, but here’s
one you can make even if yours aren’t ripe yet. Or if you
don’t like the look of green and red together. Or if you’re
just ready for a change. Combine peeled cucumbers, a few
sticks of celery, a small onion, a few sweet green peppers
plus one small hot one, some cilantro and parsley, olive
oil, a dash of salt and the juice of a lemon. Whiz them
together in a blender or food processor, leaving the soup a
bit chunky. Chill and serve in bowls, topped with a dollop
of whole milk yogurt or sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh
cilantro, parsley or chives.
