Raw Vegan Avocado Gazpacho image

This easy Summer cooler is like "liquid guacamole" that kicked me into a pleasure-induced coma that had me "coat-checking" my teeth and dreaming up a recipe for a "taco in a glass". I have deliberately kept this soup simple. It is deceptively rich - with a subtle flavour that dances across the palate before leaving a lasting impression. Have a few tastes before you add more pizzazz. Also, allow for some chilling time to allow the flavours to infuse. Traditional gazpacho is made with cold water with purists serving it at room temperature. However, I find that avocados can get a bit warm after being blended; and I prefer to enjoy this soup chilled. I served this soup as a main meal garnished with extra avocado, tomato, cilantro, and green onions. If you serve it with all the toppings in soup bowls - this recipe serves about 4 - 6 people. But, those of you who are less indulgent avocado connoisseurs, you can stretch this recipe to 8 people and serve it in small ramekins for an appetizer.
