The fall and winter months invite colder temperatures, but you cannot enjoy a bowl of hot soup while cleansing. That is where this cold soup enters the equation. This isn’t your average bowl of gazpacho, though. This creamy raw vegan curry soup may only take five to 10 minutes to make, but it has the flavor of a soup that has been simmering for hours. It is quite filling and aromatic, making for a nice change from a standard salad or smoothie.

Besides having an addictively creamy texture and robust flavor, this raw soup is not green for a change. Made with freshly made carrot juice, tahini, homemade almond milk, tomato, lemon juice, avocado, and zucchini, this soup can be a light meal or side dish. What makes this soup creamy is the avocado, tahini, and homemade almond milk. Click here to make the almond milk, but consider omitting the dates, maple syrup, or vanilla extract that the recipe calls for. You don’t want those maple and vanilla flavors mixing with the other spices and ingredients in this soup.

We couldn’t quite come up with the perfect name for this recipe. We were back and forth between “Garden Symphony Soup” and “Raw Vegan Italian Blender Soup,” and you can see which one won. For this reason, we went with the very “on the nose” name, as it best describes the recipe. It is a vibrant medley of the a great combination of raw vegan ingredients that swirl together in a symphony of flavor and nutrition!

Unlike a traditional gazpacho, this recipe contains zucchini, not cucumber. The zucchini effortlessly struts into the mix, blending beautifully with the sweetly tart and juicy tomato, which gives the soup its color. The red bell pepper also brings a subtle sweetness and refreshing element to this soup. One of the secret stars of this raw blender soup is the avocado, which helps to make it extra creamy and elegant. One could say that it elevates this simple dish to a decadent creation!

What makes this raw vegan soup Italian is the fresh basil and flat-leaf parsley twirl. They do a little herbaceous dance and complement the richness of the sun-dried tomatoes. Just make sure that the sun-dried tomatoes are purely dried, not soaking in oil and other seasonings. Finally, you have a single clove of garlic that enhances the overall melody of this soup with its bold and savory flavor. You also have the lemon juice, which brightens everything up like a surprise encore! Basically, this recipe is like a giant orchestra that crescendos as you eat it to give you as much flavor as possible. It is plant perfection!

Clean eating is one of the best ways to aid the body’s natural detoxification processes. When you eat unprocessed, plant-based foods, the body has an easier time processing the food, which aids healthy elimination. As the weather starts to cool down, though, you may be a little timid about eating raw, plant-based meals. The mornings are brisk so smoothies may not appeal to you. Nobody wants to think about juicing with winter on the distant horizon. Fortunately, you can enjoy this carrot ginger soup raw and it’ll help warm up your insides.

Naturally, the carrots color this raw soup a beautiful orange, but carrots don’t warm you up. The provide a lovely sweetness that complements the spicy ginger and raw jalapeño. Those are the two ingredients that will keep you warm, alert, and feeling fresh and clean. Eating dinner can help reduce fermentation, constipation, and other causes of intestinal gas and bloating. Whether you consume fresh, ground, or pickled ginger, it has a warming effect on the body. It can brighten dishes and provides lots of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties that benefit myriad bodily processes.

Similarly, raw jalapeño helps to warm you up from the inside. Unlike ginger, jalapeño tastes spicy. The reason for this is because it contains capsaicin.

That means that every sip of this raw carrot ginger is going to warm you up until you finish the bowl!

The sun is shining bright and there is a general sense of warmth, laziness, and relaxation in the air. Summer is here, and what better way to celebrate the start of the season than refreshing the palate with a delightfully light bowl of heirloom tomato gazpacho?

Some argue that heirloom tomatoes are the crown jewel of the summer harvest. We aren’t arguing against them, either! Think of heirloom tomatoes as nature’s candy, bursting with lovely sweetness and a touch of acidity in every bite. Don’t let their looks scare you away, either! They may appear strange and come in a variety of colors, but they are some of the best tasting tomatoes you’ll ever enjoy. When you blend together the different colors to make this gazpacho, you get to fully appreciate their inherent flavor. Let’s take a look at some of their benefits below.

• Powered by vitamins: These tomatoes are rich sources of vitamins A and C, potassium, and lycopene, an antioxidant that works to reduce inflammation and improve heart health. Plus, organically-grown heirloom tomatoes tend to be higher in lycopene, which may help protect against breast, colorectal, lung, prostate, bladder, and skin cancers.
• Precious seeds: Much like your grandmother’s china, heirloom seeds are viewed as precious treasures. For an heirloom tomato to meet heirloom status, it needs to have been around for at least 50 years. Newer genetic variations of heirloom tomatoes are simply hybrids.
• Vitamin K for the win: Studies suggest that heirloom tomatoes are great sources of vitamin K, which is necessary for healthy, strong bones. Researchers note that vitamin K consumption can help prevent osteoporosis.

It’s easy to say that a nutritious bowl of raw vegetables is nutritious. How do you turn a bunch of raw vegetables into a delicious dish, though? Some people say that it’s easier said than done, but say, “No problem.” If you have some vegetables and don’t want to eat another salad on the raw vegan diet, a great alternative is a raw soup. Additionally, this soup is a great alternative if you have extra zucchini don’t want to eat zoodle dishes any more.

Just like making a smoothie, all you have to do is cut up your vegetables and blend them together. Unlike a smoothie, you will add a few things that would not taste great slurping through a straw. For example, this raw soup contains fresh dill, garlic cloves, coconut aminos, and sea salt. The best advice we can give you is to use the fresh dill, not dried dill. The soup will be much less aromatic and flavorful without that fresh herb. We promise you that it is 100% worth it to seek out fresh dill, even if you have the dried version in your spice rack.

One piece of advice that we have for you is that you may want to wait to make this soup until the weather is a little warmer. It can be very refreshing when the sun is out. A pro raw vegan tip is to blend the soup for a few minutes on high to naturally warm it up. Don’t worry, this does not cook the vegetables; rather, the high-speed revolutions can naturally warm up the blended mixture. This is just something to consider if you take a liking to raw soups like this one.

A raw vegan soup involves three simple steps: prepare ingredients, blend ingredients, and serve in bowls. You can chop the ingredients that you are going to blend any which way because the blender does the heavy lifting. What sets this recipe apart from the rest is the addition of avocado. Occasionally, you see people top their raw soups with chopped avocado or cucumber, but this recipe blends the avocado with the other ingredients. That results in a thicker, creamier raw soup that is way more filling than your average gazpacho or raw soup.

The great thing about this soup is that it contains a lovely mixture of seasonings that give the ingredients a little extra va-va-voom. What we mean by that is that the dried basil, oregano, garlic, sea salt, and black pepper give the tomatoes, bell pepper, and avocado an extra umph. After it finishes blending, you open the blender and the aroma makes you salivate. The aromatics wake up your taste buds, readying them for a uniquely satisfying and flavorful dish. The most important thing is that you eat it right away because you don’t want to waste the fresh ingredients. If you make this recipe, let us know how you like it in the comments below.

The post Raw Tomato Gazpacho appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

The great thing about gazpacho is that it packs a flavorful punch and it is very easy to make. It’s a great summer appetizer or meal accompaniment, especially next to a large salad or zucchini noodle entree. You can also enjoy gazpacho even if you don’t follow a raw vegan diet. It’s a light entry point to a meal, providing you with lots of nutrients and flavors without filling you up.

Gazpacho is a cold soup or drink made from raw vegetables that you blend together. It originated in the souther regions of the Iberian peninsula, and it is a very common dish to eat in Spain and Portugal. People primarily enjoy this dish during the summer because it is refreshing and cool. Most gazpacho recipes include tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, garlic, olive oil, water, and sea salt. This recipe has many of those ingredients, save for the bell peppers. It does bring more fresh herbs to the party, enhancing the depth of flavor.

This gazpacho calls for fresh cilantro, mint, and a little basil for topping. It also includes one jalapeño, which gives this raw soup a little fiery kick. If you are opposed to spicier flavors, use less of the jalapeño, or choose a more mild pepper like poblano. The acidity and sweetness of the tomatoes, however, do a good job to mellow the intensity of the jalapeño, so don’t worry too much!

Now that the weather is warming up, we can post more raw soup recipes. Raw soup seems like an odd choice, but it is a very popular dish in Spain during the summer. Gazpacho is a classic cold Spanish soup that’s typically made with tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onion, and garlic. The raw soup in this recipe doesn’t contain any of those ingredients, so it’s a modern spin on an old classic.

Raw soup isn’t for everyone, and that’s perfectly acceptable. It is, however, an easy meal option if you are following the raw vegan diet. Just like a smoothie, add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender, blend until smooth, and enjoy. We do suggest that you allow the ingredients to blend for at least one minute. A little raw vegan hack for warming a raw soup is allowing the ingredients to blend for about three minutes on high. The revolutions will naturally give the soup a little warmth, although you may not require warmth with this recipe. You may even see some steam!

The base of this raw soup is carrots, apple, and avocado. The avocado provides a creaminess that you don’t typically get from a cold soup or gazpacho recipe. Apple, carrots, and avocado don’t make the soup, but the remaining spices do. In fact, this recipe has an impressive ingredient list, using ginger, curry powder, ground coriander, nutritional yeast, dates, cumin, and more. As with any recipe like this, give it a quick taste test once the blending process is complete and adjust the seasonings as needed. We hope you love it, and give us some love in the comments or share it on social media if you make it! Don’t forget to sprinkle some freshly chopped chives on top for added flavor!

This soup is similar to a traditional gazpacho, which is a classic cold soup in Spanish cuisine. Made from blended vegetables, gazpacho is often served in the summer, but you can eat it year round. Much like gazpacho, this soup is a wonderfully light and refreshing dish that contains anti-inflammatory and alkalizing properties. After enjoying a bowl of this soup, both your taste buds and your body will thank you.

Each ingredient in this soup offers an array of nutritional benefits. Tomatoes are hydrating fruits that are rich in lycopene, an organic pigment that is similar to beta-carotene. According to research, lycopene promotes healthy bones and works to naturally lower blood pressure. Bell pepper is a rich source of vitamin C that people often overlook. It also contains antioxidants and various carotenoids, which exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. The lemon also offers vitamin C, which is an integral nutrient for optimizing immune function. Despite the acidic nature of lemon outside the body, it has an alkalizing effect once you ingest it.

Once you have all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go, it’s all about the blender. Since the ingredients in this raw soup are not frozen or difficult to blend, any blender will suffice. If you have a powerful, high-speed blender, that is the optimal choice. A powerful blender has the ability to generate more heat when you put it on the high setting. This is a beneficial step if you want to naturally warm up soup. Think of it like a raw vegan hack to infusing your food with a little warmth. That said, this soup does pack a spicy kick, which is another way to warm up when temperatures are low.

There are no toppings to this soup, but you have freedom in that department. Diced avocado or cucumber, cilantro leaves, a lemon wedge, and a drizzle of olive oil will enhance the flavor. You can also be a purist and leave the recipe as it stands. You are the chef and should make your soup how you want it. Just keep it within the realm of raw vegan.
