Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by coarsely chopping your ripe red tomatoes, watermelon, ripe strawberries, red jalapeno, and garlic cloves. Aim for bite-sized pieces for even blending. This initial step takes just 10 minutes and ensures all flavors will meld beautifully in your Refreshing Watermelon Gazpacho Soup.
  2. In a high-powered blender, combine the prepped tomatoes, watermelon, strawberries, jalapeno, and garlic. Blend on high until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  3. While the blender is running, gradually stream in extra virgin olive oil. Continue blending for another 2-3 minutes until the soup achieves a silky texture and rich flavor.
  4. Once the mixture is smooth, taste your gazpacho and adjust the seasoning. Add kosher salt, lime juice, and a splash of red wine vinegar as needed for balance.
  5. Transfer the blended gazpacho into a large bowl or container, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  6. After chilling, give the gazpacho a gentle stir, then spoon it into bowls. Garnish with fresh corn, diced cucumbers, or additional fruit chunks for visual appeal.
