Tomato-Watermelon Gazpacho With Avocado Recipe (2024)

I added some chili flakes and hungarian (hot) paprika to make it smokier and it was amazing.

This is beyond delicious! Don't be afraid to double the recipe! I upped (doubled) the garlic and also added some paprika and red pepper flakes. The depth of flavor increased and the freshness and lightness remained!

This is great! I used lemon infused olive oil and add freshly squeezed lime juice. I omitted the baguette

I left out the bread, added a few dashes of tobacco sauce and the juice of 1 lime and it brightened it up a bit!

I made a much larger quantity. Used half a good sized watermelon, and 4 large beefsteak tomatoes, and a few heirlooms for good measure. Upped the quantities proportionately, and added 2 large jalapeños. Dispensed with breadcrumbs. Absolutely delicious and good gluten free, and completely vegan! Yum!

I upped the garlic and added lime juice and a bit of fish sauce. I found this recipe a bit flavorless without some add-ins.

This was just perfect on a hot summer day

This is a great recipe. Doubled the amounts for lunch leftovers and served with lightly toasted baguette. As some other comments indicated, I doubled the garlic and added Aleppo pepper and paprika. I also served with (vegan) feta crumbles and torn mint leaves to increase the flavor. The perfect lunch on a steamy summer day.

Not a winner in our house - raw garlic and raw onion didn’t quite mellow enough

This was delicious! Added about a cup more of watermelon (same split in the soup and chopped to add afterwards), Jalepeno instead of cucumber, cubed feta, replaced salt with chili salt.

I followed the recipe exactly; after chilling I added some hot sauce. Melissa Clark never disappoints. Thank you, Melissa!

This is very good, but as others have said it needs more flavor. Double the garlic and half a jalapeño did the trick. My blender isn't up to the ice cube, and the baguette needed to be processed in a small food processor first. You can half the oil, or just eyeball it and add a generous glug.

I just made this by accident but love it. I thought I was making the other NYT recipe for watermelon gazpacho which I have made before and love too. I realized when I got to the bread part that this was a different one. Regardless, I made this as is but didn’t have baguette so substituted one toasted pita. Right now don’t need an incentive to add other recommendations but I might next time.

Spanish unfiltered olive oil from Trader Joe’s along with my garden tomato seconds along with a splash of sherry vinegar made this!

Very good soup! Added some red pepper flakes to serve for a bit of heat. Only thing to note is that the color of mine was more of a medium pink than the nice deep red in the photo. Taste was excellent but the color might have been a little off-putting, depending on one’s preferences.

I was not exact on the amt. of tomatoes or watermelon. Didn't add bread. Added lemon and fresh mint. Needed to lessen the sweetness of the watermelon. I will make it again and add a hot pepper to cool the sweetness some more. Really like it. Especially in this heat.

Toasted bread in pan, reserved centers for croutons, putting the balance in the broth. No cukes so used celery tops and leaves and a sweet pepper and held back chunky veggies to put on the top. I whizzed it in my instant pot liner so I could stick it in the freezer and get it good and cold (also added some bloody mary mix and a teaspoon of adobo because tomatoes are not delicious right now. Did a quick pickle of red onion for the top. Put small dollop of sour cream.
