I’ve had gazpacho many times growing up in Minneapolis, and I don’t think it’s ever had yogurt in it–cukes, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, etc., kind of like a salsa soup but with the cucumbers. Is like the difference between New England & Manhattan or something like that? Just curious…of course, I’d love the chance to add dairy to almost anything!

This reminds me of a saying I saw on a t-shirt last weekend. (No offense to vegetarians meant – I live in Boulder and half the people I know and love are vegetarians, but this is still funny.)

Vegetarian – an ancient word meaning “the village idiot who can’t hunt, fish, or cook.”

thanks for putting your soup recipe in the comments. I went to a small upscale (read: prices similar to Whole Mortgage) grocery yesterday in Homewood, Tria Market, and they always have soup; since it was so hot I had already melted, I tried the cold cucumber soup. However, my inner Siskel & Ebert gave it a big MEH, as in, well, I finished my miniscule tasting cup but don’t think I will paying for a regular sized portion….

Thanks to a son born allergic to milk and eggs, I make a mean vegan-friendly chocolate fudge cake. If you’ll pay my air fare over, I’ll bring one over and you can give it to Foodie!

Yep, vegans are difficult to “trade foods” with at times. I’ve friends who are what I call “super vegans” – I just ask if they want to eat the grass on the front lawn, then realize it’s probably been treated with chemicals that were once animals, so that’s out. I just offer them water and pray they don’t become Jains soon [I knew one who jokingly yet seriously said he had his non-Jain wife purify tap water so he didn't kill the stuff in there ... shudder].

I’m sorry I’m still laughing at Sara and Professor Foodie. It’s been years since I’ve had gazpacho, but ohhhhh this is sounding so very good. Ducky won’t be asking me to share… so it’s mine all mine.

I think it sounds tasty, though how dare you pollute it with yogurt when instead you could have used… something… ummm like… water.

I’m not a Vegan, I’m sure it’s healthy and cleansing if it’s done right, but I have some teeth specifically built (through evolution) to cut into meat, and I’d feel terrible not putting them to the use nature intended.
