Peach Gazpacho
Ingredients
1qt medium diced pitted peaches
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup water
2tb extra virgin olive oil
2ts rice vinegar
2 ts fresh squeezed lime juice
1tb honey
3/4ts kosher salt
1/4ts fresh ground black pepper
1/4ts minced canned chipotle
Note: That's a "1/4 teaspoon" of canned chipotle. Not "an entire can" of canned chipotle. I made that mistake once. My family has just about forgiven me, but my gullet still bears the scars.
Method:
Puree everything above together & chill for several hours.
In a separate bowl, combine the garnish ingredients & season with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Ladle soup base into chilled soup bowls (we use generous, quirky coffee mugs).
Spoon garnish (see below) on top of soup base
Garnish:
Equal parts diced peaches, seeded & diced cucumber, diced red onion, minced fresh cilantro, drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
