UGLY TOMATO GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, onion, parsley, and garlic. Add the 1 ½ teaspoons of sea salt and, using your hands, mix everything together well. Set the bowl aside on your counter for ½ hour, or up to 4 hours.
• Add the vegetable broth, olive oil, white balsamic and lime juice to the bowl with the veggies. Working in batches puree the soup until it is quite smooth. Taste and add more salt as needed.
• Either serve immediately with some or all of the garnishes, or transfer the soup to large jars and chill it in your fridge for up to 3 days.

CREAMY GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Reserve one-quarter of the tomato, two cucumber chunks, two avocado chunks, and one basil leaf. Combine and finely chop for garnish.
• Stem and seed the jalapeño half and reserve the seeds. Cut the jalapeño into several pieces. Combine one or two pieces of the jalapeño with the remaining tomato, cucumber, avocado, and basil and the watercress or spinach, celery, garlic, red wine vinegar, honey, and ice cubes in a blender or the bowl of a food processor; puree until smooth. Add 1/4 cup or more water to thin the mixture, if necessary.
• Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if needed. If you want the soup spicier, add more of the jalapeño, a little at a time, as well as some of the seeds if desired, blending and tasting after each addition. Refrigerate until cold, then pour into a bowl and top with the reserved chopped tomato, cucumber, avocado, and basil and a drizzle of olive oil, and eat.

GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients, except the oil, pea shoots and ice cubes, into a food processor with a good pinch of salt and pepper and blitz, adding enough water to get a soupy consistency. Taste, and add a little more vinegar and seasoning if necessary. Chill for up to 24 hrs, or at least 2 hrs.
• To serve, divide between shallow soup bowls, float a few ice cubes in each bowl (see tip, below) and add a scattering of pea shoots and a drizzle of oil before serving.
