Asparagus Gazpacho Recipe: Creamy Spanish Cold Soup 2026

This asparagus gazpacho is a wonderfully original twist on classic gazpacho. White asparagus, raw almonds and zucchini blend into a silky, pale-green cream with a delicate flavor that is both fresh and surprising.

It comes together in just 5 minutes with no cooking at all, which makes it perfect for the hottest days of the year. Make a big pitcher, keep it in the fridge, and you have a refreshing starter or a quick snack ready whenever you want it.

Ingredients for Asparagus Gazpacho

Serves 4

• 80 g raw blanched almonds, skins removed
• 400 g canned white asparagus, with its preserving liquid
• 200 g peeled zucchini
• 80 g day-old bread
• 1 garlic clove, germ removed
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar
• Salt, to taste
• Ground black pepper, to taste

How to Make Asparagus Gazpacho Step by Step

1. Grind the Almonds

Place 80 g of raw blanched almonds in the bowl of a powerful blender and grind them for a few seconds at maximum speed. If you are using a Thermomix, program 5 seconds at speed 10 until you have a fine almond flour.

2. Blend Everything Into a Smooth Cream

Add 400 g of canned white asparagus along with its preserving liquid, 200 g of peeled and chopped zucchini, 80 g of day-old bread, 1 garlic clove with the germ removed, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Sherry vinegar, and salt and ground pepper to taste. Blend again at maximum speed until you get a fine, homogeneous mixture. With a Thermomix, blend for 1 minute at progressive speed 5-10.

3. Adjust the Texture and Serve Chilled

Check the texture and add a little cold water if it needs thinning. If you do, blend the asparagus gazpacho for a few more seconds to reach a fine, silky consistency. Garnish as you like and serve it very cold.

Tips for the Best Asparagus Gazpacho

Use a Powerful Blender

This recipe works with a powerful blender or a Thermomix, and both will give you a very homogeneous texture if you blend properly. Take your time with the almonds first, since a fine almond flour is the base of the creamy body.

Make It Ahead for Hot Days

This is an ideal recipe to prepare a large pitcher and keep it in the fridge, ready to enjoy as a delicious starter or a quick snack during the warmest months of the year. The flavor actually improves after a short rest in the cold.

Balance the Seasoning

Salt, pepper and Sherry vinegar are what lift the delicate flavor of the white asparagus and almonds. Taste before serving and adjust, and only add cold water a little at a time so the soup stays creamy rather than watery.
