Gazpacho is a soup that is typically made from raw vegetables. It originated in southern Spain. It is served cold, which makes it the perfect soup to serve in the hot summer because it is cool and refreshing.
1 seedless cucumber, coarsely chopped
2 medium fresh peaches, pitted
1 red bell pepper
1 jalapeño pepper
4 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water
4 cloves garlic
8 cherry tomatoes
cooking spray
1 c. water
1/4 c. fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 t. chipotle roasted garlic seasoning
1/4 c. sliced green onions
Preheat grill on high.
Chop cucumber. Pit peaches, then cut peaches into quarters. Remove seeds and stems from both peppers, then cut into peppers into chunks.
Thread 1 clove of garlic onto each skewer, then peaches, bell peppers and tomatoes, alternating items.
Spray food on skewers with cooking spray; place on grill; cook 2–3 minutes on each side or until charred.
Transfer to cutting board; let stand 5 minutes; remove vegetables from skewers.
Place water and cucumber in blender; add 1 c. grilled vegetables; process until smooth.
Chop remaining vegetables coarsely; chop cilantro and add it to vegetables.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, except for the green onions; chill 1 hour.
