DOn't respond to this DS it has been irrefutably disproven on multiple levels. Vlady's just carryin on because he has never had a decent bowl of potato soup or gazpacho.

Hey now, just because you don't like the recipe everyone else is using doesn't mean its bad.

Unless it involves cabbage.

You poor, poor bastard

I agree with Primate and I already showed you a watermelon soup that was never boiled and you just ignored it

Was that the one with the first ingredient being vegetable stock?

It still required boiling something for the essence even if I drink cold broth and call it soup. It doesn't matter if I'm not the one who did the boiling- for vegetable stock, someone boiled vegetables in water.

Nope, this was the ingredients list

Ingredients

3 cups chilled, chopped watermelon (keep a few cubes for garnishing)
1 cup frozen strawberries
3/4 cup frozen cherries
1 tablespoon fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon baobab powder
1 teaspoon acerola cherry powder (optional)
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons mint leaves
Instructions

Blend all ingredients together until smooth.
Garnish with watermelon cubes, frozen fruit and mint leaves if you like. YAY.

And gazpacho is apparently liquid salad, not a first definition soup. It is a second definition soup (i.e., a food that looks like a soup).

That's not soup. That sounds like a smoothie recipe. You think smoothies are soup now?

One guy called it a liquid salad. If that's all it takes, you are now the Grand Sultan of Northern Mexico.

Awesome!

I wish it was the Yucatan instead, though.

It says Watermelon Soup

But gazpacho technically isn't a first definition soup:

1) a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc., in stock or water.

So it only qualifies as a second definition "soup":

2) a substance or mixture perceived to resemble soup in appearance or consistency.

So that's the only thing that makes gazpacho a soup- the second definition.

Nobody but DS really perceives breakfast cereal as soup and it fails definition one, so cereal is not soup.

It fails definition 1 and 2. It does not resemble "soup". It's a smoothie.

I saw someone else say Gazpacho was more like a drink than a soup. I suspect that's because they tried it using the weird "let's cook it first" recipe you posted.

As an aside: Even in that abortion of a recipe you posted, cooking tomato is not done to release this magical essence you keep talking about. It's done to separate the fruit from the skin and to make shitty produce more palatable. Traditionally, you use old tomato on the verge of being too soft, so it is already soft and easy to separate.

I would say watermelon soup does resemble a soup

Truth time: I have never made Gazpacho, and am not a gazpacho expert.
