Cool and delicious, this Watermelon Gazpacho from Ali over at Gimme Some Oven is the most refreshing soup you’ll ever have, and full of summer flavors! You can learn more about Ali here. Her recipes are so wonderful, and this one is my new favorite! Mint is not something I use regularly, but I tried it for this recipe, and it was very good, although I may try a different herb next time, and leave some seeds from the jalapeño in, for a bit of extra heat. For this recipe, I (of course) used my Deluxe Cooking Blender:

Best Blender for Smoothies—and Soup!

Blenders aren’t just for smoothies anymore. Our innovative blender has settings that heat up to 220˚F (104˚C), which means it doesn’t just blend—it cooks. With a cooking blender, you can make everything from smoothies and milkshakes to soups, jams, alternative milks, and nut butters. With eight preprogrammed settings and two custom settings, there’s no guesswork. The pitcher has a 6-cup capacity for hot food and 7-cup capacity for cold food, and comes with a tamper, dual-sided cleaning brush, strainer bag, boil-over guard, and a cooking guide with more than 60 recipes.

Product Details

  • 6-cup capacity for hot food.
  • 7-cup capacity for cold food.
  • Includes: Tamper, Dual-Sided Cleaning Brush, Strainer Bag, Boil-Over Guard, and the Deluxe Cooking Blender Cooking Guide which includes more than 60 recipes.
  • 8 preprogrammed settings including: Smoothie, Alt Milk, Grind, Soup, Heated Puree, Sauce, Jam, and Custom Blend.
  • 17½” x 9½” x 9¾”.

A couple of things I did differently, specifically because of my blender, is that I used an English cucumber as it is seedless, and I did NOT peel it, since our blender can take care of the peel with ease. I also used cherry tomatoes instead of Roma tomatoes, and did not reove the seeds. Click here to get your Deluxe Cooking Blender today.  You’ll be glad you did. Let’s jump right in! Ingredients
