Recipe Details:
There are many ways to make Gazpacho, a traditional Spanish soup. Although people are more familiar with the red Gazpacho, we would like to introduce you to the green version of this diabetic-friendly soup.
Ingredients:
Cucumbers (cut in medium pieces) – 1 lb.
Green bell pepper (washed, cleaned of seeds, and cut in halves) – 5
Step 1 Preheat oven to 290 F. Put the bell peppers skin side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle them with olive oil and place in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes. After that, let the peppers cool to room temperature. Step 2 When the peppers cool to room temperature, remove the skin from them. Step 3 Put cucumbers in a blender and process until you get a smooth puree. Step 4 Add the peppers, garlic, scallions, parsley, bread, salt, and olive oil to the cucumber puree and blend everything together to homogenous mass. Step 5 Add some vinegar and lemon juice to taste. Add cold water to rich the desirable consistency. Mix well. Server with Rye croutons and enjoy!
