Reviews
Wonderful, I didn’t have scallions so I used a fresh florida sping onion used 1/2 onion and doubled the garlic. Was full of flavor and a touch spicy. This recipe is a keeper! Thanks
I also substituted sour cream in for the yogurt and it worked very well. For those citing lack of taste, I used extra scallions, (about 4 and white pepper (approx 1/8 tsp and about 1/2 tsp of salt. Will definitely be making this again.
Very good . I added my yogurt to the soup to make it a little creamier.
Thank you for a way to use August cucumbers! After a taste test, I added some dried dill for more flavor. Didn’t have a yellow pepper so I used yellow squash. Very refreshing summer soup.
We love gazpacho, but this one just didn’t work for us. Simply put, just not enough flavor.
Absolutely loved this! So cool and refreshing on a hot day in Houston, TX. My husband was mmmm with every spoon full. I didn’t have a yellow pepper so I substituted some yellow cherry tomato. I didn’t have yogurt on hand so I used sour cream. Which is one of the things I love about Melissa d’ Arabian…she always offers alternative ingredients and encourages making recipes your own…and don’t be afraid to experiment with your own substitutes.
