SUMMERY GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• (I am not sure which broth or stock you would use. My granular stock powder is not very salty, so my soup needed more salt than stated above. The cubes unfortunately need boiling water to dissolve, while the granular powders dissolve readily in cold water. Therefore you will have to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving).
• Rinse cucumber and cut off ends. Cut into rounds and then into cubes, and put into food processor.
• Add the cold chicken broth/stock, and whizz at medium speed.
• Add parsley, onion, yoghurt (Greek yoghurt is best)salt, Tabasco, oil and lemon juice.
• Whizz at high speed until soup is smoothly processed. It won't be, and shouldn't be, velvet smooth.
• Pour into, preferably, a glass bowl, cover, and chill. It's best to make this a day ahead.
• Taste before serving, and adjust seasoning.

SUNNY'S EASY ROASTED GREEN GAZPACHO

Steps:

• For the veggies: Heat the grill to 400 degrees F.
• Brush oil on the scallions, tomatillos and zucchini, then sprinkle them with salt and place over the direct heat of the grill. Cook, rotating or flipping occasionally, until everything chars and the tomatillos soften a bit, about 5 minutes.
• Blend and chill soup: Combine the scallions, tomatillos and zucchini in a blender, along with the yogurt, basil, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice and a nice pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add a handful of crushed ice and blend; this should fix it! Taste and season with salt, then taste again. Refrigerate at least four hours or up to overnight.
• Serve. Mix the yogurt and honey in a small bowl. Serve the soup in bowls and drizzle with the yogurt mixture, and a shake or two of the hot sauce.
