White Gazpacho

White Gazpacho recipe image
This refreshing White Gazpacho offers a unique twist on the traditional Spanish cold soup by swapping tomatoes for cool cucumbers and rich sour cream. The savory depth comes from a dissolved chicken bouillon base, creating a creamy, protein-rich texture that is both comforting and light. It serves as an excellent palate cleanser or a substantial starter on warm days. The sharpness of lemon juice and garlic powder balances the richness of the dairy, making it a vibrant addition to any summer menu. Perfect for picnics or quick weeknight dinners.
