Ingredients

• 2 medium English cucumbers
• 1 cup Almonds (blanched and unsalted)
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 small Garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 0.5 cup Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 1 slice White bread (crust removed, torn into pieces)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (for garnish)
• 4 pieces Ice cubes (optional, for chilling)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the cucumbers, slice them lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Chop the cucumbers into small pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a blender, combine the chopped cucumbers, almonds, yogurt, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar, cold water, kosher salt, and white pepper.

Step 3

Add the torn bread slice into the blender to help thicken the soup. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or pepper, if needed.

Step 5

If the mixture is too thick, add more cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 6

Transfer the gazpacho to a bowl or pitcher and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For faster chilling, add a few ice cubes to the blender while blending.

Step 7

Serve the gazpacho in chilled bowls or glasses. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
