Method
 

How to Make Thai Gazpacho
  1. In a food processor, pulse together the large yellow tomatoes, English cucumber, yellow bell pepper, and shallot until they’re roughly chopped and combine their vibrant flavors.
  2. Next, add the lemongrass paste, fresh ginger, lime juice, fish sauce, palm sugar, chili paste, and fresh herbs to the food processor. Puree the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  3. Gently stir in the coconut milk, tasting as you go. Adjust the seasoning if needed—feel free to add a bit more fish sauce, palm sugar, or chili for that perfect flavor balance.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully as the soup chills to the perfect serving temperature.
  5. When ready, ladle the Thai Gazpacho into bowls and garnish with chilled shrimp, extra fresh herbs, or a drizzle of coconut milk for that extra touch of elegance.
