Summer Fruit Gazpacho is so unbelievably refreshing, you’ll want to eat it every hot day you come upon. And when you find how easy it is to make, you just might actually find yourself making it all summer long!
My inspirations for Weelicious recipes come from a lot of different places. For some, they’re simply based on a food I see at our farmers’ market, for others it can be a dish I love from a restaurant or a food memory I had as a kid that I now find myself craving (and possibly want to make a bit healthier). In the case of this Summer Fruit Gazpacho, my muses were the mint growing wild in our garden and all of the naturally sweet fruits sitting on our kitchen counter that I was afraid would spoil.
Traditional gazpacho is a cold soup made with tomatoes and other vegetables. This version is completely different, but I wanted to call it a gazpacho because I love the idea of a cold soup during these hot summer months and truthfully….I just dig the word “gazpacho”!
The “soup” is actually made from fresh cantaloupe. We used strawberries, peaches and blueberries for the toppings, but you’re welcome to try it with any summer fruit you like! Kiwi, raspberries, apricots… whatever you want! You really can’t go wrong.
The morning after I made it and let it chill overnight, the kids and I sat on the kitchen floor armed with three spoons and an enormous bowl of this refreshing, sweet soup. There’s only one word to explain what happened at our impromptu picnic when we tried the first refreshing spoonful. De-VOURED! We finished the whole batch before the day was over.
Soup for breakfast you might ask? After taking your first taste of this one, it won’t seem at all strange to eat in the morning or any time of day you want to serve it. Especially when it’s a nutritious as this!

Made this this morning and my only regret was that the kitchen floor wasn’t clean enough to sit down and eat there ’cause that sounds fun. This was so delicious with the fruit all in season from my local farmers market. I think I felt the cells in my feet singing. Thanks for a lovely breakfast idea.
