Maine deck gardener on 2024-07-31 (5 stars): This is a good recipe, thank you. I followed the vegan directions (soy milk) with two exceptions:
I added 1/2 of a smallish ripe avocado for extra creaminess (and because it was sitting in the fridge).
There were no apples handy so I peeled two ripe red plums that I think have about the same tart/sweet balance as an apple and used them. I can see the slight pink color they added - too bad- but nobody else would notice it and it tastes great!
And a great way to use up some of the cukes from the garden.
Janelle on 2024-06-18 (5 stars): It was heavenly, the perfect way to use up all my cucumbers that my garden is producing.
Annmarie M on 2023-11-10 (5 stars): Hi! I made it today & I thought it was delicious but I have to reiterate that I am completely obsessed with cucumbers right now. LOL! I even left the peels on and seeds in them. Of course i trimmed off the cucumber ends, but that was all. The vitamix did an amazing job so i didn’t even know they were in there, but i was able to get make this excellent recipe even more nutritious! I also substituted the lime for the lemon & it worked out just fine. Next time, i think I’m going to add some white or yellow onions too just because i love them so much! I also used fresh spinach bc i didn’t have basil on hand & it was absolutely phenomenal! Thx very much for this fantastic recipe!
Guillermo on 2022-07-30 (5 stars): Great recipe! Followed as written. Well blended flavours (no pun intended).Very refreshing with a nice garlic zing!
michelle on 2021-08-16 (3 stars): Tasty but the garlic and onion were too much for a raw soup. if i make again, I'll halve both.
Annie on 2021-07-08 (5 stars): Hi Jenn
We eat a lot of gazpacho in summer with watermelon or tomato base.
I was not sure if I would like the unsweetened almond milk.
Used my home grown cucumbers (left the peel on), Thai basal I had frozen last season, a batch of homemade almond milk and used the juice of a whole lime.
Jenn it was amazing!!
Would love to send you the pic 🥒💚🥒
Sherri on 2021-07-04 (5 stars): I really like this soup for lunch
Quick and easy. Very refreshing.
Chuck Bean on 2021-06-27 (5 stars): I backed off the garlic and onions to about 1/4 and added a teaspoon or so of Maggie sauce… so amazing!!! Thanks for this. Ate it two days in a row already!
