Moroccan Gazpacho...You have to try this!

Today I demo'd this fabulous soup of mine at Whole Foods. It was a huge success. As people sampled the delicious Moroccan flavors, they quickly went in to the produce department to buy up the ingredients so they could go home and make more. I decided to share the recipe on my blog. This healthy, Raw soup is easy to make (and I mean....super easy) and full of delicious flavors. It is soooooo good! For more great recipes, check out my Raw food recipe ebooks available on my website at http://www.kristensraw.com/. Enjoy!

Moroccan Gazpacho
Yield 5-6 cups

This is an elegant and delicious recipe with beautiful flavors; yet, it is so simple to make.

1 cup water
4 tomatoes, chopped
1 tomato, diced
1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons agave nectar
1 teaspoon Himalayan crystal salt
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3/4 teaspoon cumin
3/4 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup raisins


Blend all of the ingredients, except for the 1 diced tomato, pine nuts, raisins and cilantro, until creamy. Pulse in the cilantro. Stir in the diced tomato, pine nuts and raisins.

I was at Whole Foods, tried the gazpacho, ran to the produce section for ingredients and made it the next day for a dinner party - what a success! Great soup.

Thanks!

I had another person email me about this Moroccan Gazpacho. This is an amazing testimonial! Check it out:

"You were in Whole Foods a few weeks ago giving out samples of your Moroccan Gazpacho. I was so taken by this delicious taste that I wanted you to sell it to me. Of course I was kidding, but it was so good that I had to try and make it myself. Not having a Blender - I went out and bought one and got all the ingredients to make it, as I am not really a cook. Well, I have gone through the whole batch of it myself and I am now going to make another. Just for your information, I have never ever tried anything so delicious and tasty. It sure was my lucky day to have walked into Whole Foods that day and sample it and it was so nice meeting you. Thanks again Kristen" Shirley, Arizona
