Gazpacho, 2 Recipes, One Red & One White!

Gazpacho, Two Ways, One Red & One White!

Gazpacho, Spain’s famous chilled tomato based soup, is basically summer in a bowl or salad in a blender. It sounds fancy to say it but it’s uber-easy to make! There’s the classic red version of Gazpacho, tomato based, and the classic White Gazpacho, usually made with cucumber, almonds and grapes but I’ve changed it and kicked it up a notch!

I’ve been making Red Gazpacho for years and it’s an absolutely perfect way to use up all your garden fresh produce or farmer’s market finds. It’s raw, spicy, and wonderful and if you’ve never tried it I really hope you do. It’s clean eating at it’s best! And, both recipes are gluten free, paleo and quick to make! Red Gazpacho is totally raw too.

Basic veggies for Gazpacho.

I tried the white version recently. I searched recipes on the internet and found that classic White Gazpacho uses cucumbers, grapes and almonds and it just didn’t speak to me. Then I came across this lovely version from Food and Wine and was intrigued by the idea of using cauliflower as the white base. I made a few changes to the recipe.

Instead of boiling the cauliflower I roasted it with a little olive oil, salt and pepper to give it deeper flavor. I eliminated the white bread because I’m trying to eat as grain free as possible and I used chicken broth in place of plain water. It might not technically be Gazpacho but it’s delicious whatever you call it!

My husband Mike ate two bowls and said I could make it anytime so, it’s a keeper! White Gazpacho is creamy and cool with the spicy bite of garlic and shallots tempered by cucumber and almonds. Truly delicious!

Kate’s Tips

  • Freshly made croutons would be wonderful in either of these soups. Use gluten free bread 🙂
  • Make Gazpacho shooters as an appetizer for a party. Just spoon into small glasses and sprinkle on the garnishes.
  • Sprinkle some chopped prosciutto or crumbled bacon in the white version. Seriously amazing.
  • Add a zucchini to the red version.
  • This is the tomato juice I use: Lakewood Organic Super Tomato Juice
  • Instead of the chives try using basil instead. We all know how well basil goes with tomatoes!
  • If you love cold soups in the summer, try my cold beet borscht recipe. Beets never tasted so good and it’s the prettiest soup you’ve ever seen!

What are your favorite cold soups?

I think about heaven a lot. I can sense a hint of the banquet, hear an echo of the orchestra tuning up. I can almost smell the bread baking, hear the hustle and bustle of those setting the table getting all things ready.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When I go outside, I feel the ache in nature, desperate to give voice to centuries of silence. I catch a glimpse of eternity in a perfect flower or a shooting star.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But I don't want to spoil my appetite. I prefer to wait with eager anticipation because even though I don't fully know what I'm waiting for, I do know this: I was made for a specific, incredible, perfect place and I know Who's I am. I know a day is soon coming when I'll look up and see the sight my heart ever longs for, the sight I was made for—my King, coming on clouds of Glory, to take me up with Him where there is no more crying, no fear, no sorrow, no sin, no disease.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We are all in a season of dying. We've had to die to our routines and expectations, our way of life that seemed normal and good just weeks ago. ⁠But in seasons of death, we can look for resurrection. Life is hard and confusing at the moment but it's still good. Death is hard but resurrection is always worth it. And resurrection is coming. New life, new ways of living are coming.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert" (Isaiah 43:19, ESV)⁠.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
He always makes a way, friend. It might not look the way you thought it would, but you can trust He has you. Now's the time to press in, lean into His heart, ask Him what He would have you do or say or learn during this time when so much makes so little sense. If you ask and quiet the noise of your heart, He will answer. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When Mary went to the tomb early that morning, she didn't recognize the resurrected Christ. She looked but didn't see...until He said her name. As soon as He said, "Mary," she knew.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In seasons of dying, something will resurrect, I promise. ⁠⠀

This is on Facebook, y’all. I don’t know how t This is on Facebook, y’all. I don’t know how they picked me and my book but I’m beyond thrilled they did!!. Tomorrow at 2pm Central I will be on the @booksamillion Facebook page for their Pray in May series answering questions as the video I made about THE GOD DARE plays. The page has over 350,000 likes so it’s a little intimidating but exciting for sure😊

The series began on Sunday with the incredible @sheilawalsh1 and now it’s my turn. I’m believing folks will be inspired and blessed by my story and motivated to step out and take God at His Word. To once and for all let go of fear and doubt and step with Him into the glorious future. To choose to be chosen to change the world!. This is the perfect season to dig deep with God and hear His heart for what’s next for your life. He is speaking. The Holy Spirit is talking to you, yes YOU. All you need to do is listen and follow. He might ask you to do something that seems impossible but, remember this: the impossible is God’s comfort zone!. I hope you can join me tomorrow!. #prayinmay #booksamillion #thegoddare #faithingod #faithfulness #faithoverfear #hopeingod #choosetobechosen #impossible #seasonofchange
@joyfullifemagazine ・・・ After one baby, I de @joyfullifemagazine ・・・
After one baby, I dealt with infertility, or should I say, infertility dealt with me. 
Everything I knew about God, motherhood, my purpose—all were tarnished by a hard season.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The pain of a harsh diagnosis pierced my heart like a sword. Depression made a move when I realized the one thing I wanted—a big family—wasn't happening. After four failed adoption attempts, I had no clue what to do.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The pain and loss grew each day, making me sad, resentful, and filled with self-pity. I had no room for gratitude and couldn't see the point in any of it.⁠ Years went by and the pain remained, with that empty feeling each time a friend announced a pregnancy. As I learned to manage the ache, it felt like telling a nasty dog, "Go sit over there. I'm not petting you," because⁠ whatever you pet sticks around. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
God let me dangle over a precipice of self-pity until I was ready to do three things:.

New post up at @momtomompodcast!. So much about Go New post up at @momtomompodcast!. So much about God and His Word is still a mystery, even to the greatest theological minds down through the ages. Faith–simple, childlike #faith is what holds the whole thing up. But, do we just stop there?
.
In 2 Timothy 2:15, we’re charged to rightly handle the Word of Truth and to study to show ourselves approved unto God. And in 1 Peter 3, we’re told to always be ready to give an account of the hope that we have in Christ.
.
Should part of that readiness be Biblical literacy–not just being able to quote Scripture, but being able to use those Scriptures to better know God–His character and attributes–and to better know the doctrines of our faith and how those are to be lived out in our everyday lives? .

Today, we’re joined by @phyliciamasonheimer who is going to help answer that question and hopefully give us some tips for living in the tension of both a simple faith and practical theology.
