This is a great summer soup and fairly easy. I omitted the jalapeno but kept everything else the same. The garlic flavor was a bit strong for me but everyone else loved it. A very nice change from regular gazpacho. Thanks for sharing.

This was OK, but I didn't like the combination of the sweet watermelon with the other, more zesty ingredients in this dish. I will stick to more traditional gazpacho recipes from now on...

I loved this recipe. It's refreshing and healthy! I made a big batch for our concessions stand, but...it wasn't a big seller. I guess my crowd just isn't very adventuresome when it comes to food. Anyway, I loved it. I used a half cup of frozen OJ concentrate instead of orange juice because many reviewers mentioned this recipe being watery. I also tossed in some canteloupe, as someone else mentioned. Wonderful!

I have tried to acquire a taste for gazpacho, as it is so healthy for you, but until now I just could not get into it. The fruity twist in this gazpacho recipe makes it easier for someone like me to enjoy. I LOVED this! The coolness of sweet watermelon, crisp cucumbers and yellow peppers combine beautifully with the zip from the garlic and jalapeno and herbs (I used a combination of cilantro, basil and mint). I used slightly less orange juice (squeezed two large oranges) and it was still very liquidy - but it is a soup, not a salsa, so it's fine to have a little extra "broth". Great idea and a wonderful recipe for someone who may not find cold soups appealing. I'm already rethinking my opinion of traditional gazpacho thanks to this recipe!

Most of the time a food addiction is never a good thing unless it's as healthy and outstanding as this knock your socks off cross between spicy and cool, ying and yang most refreshing Watermelon Gazpacho. Be as indulgent as you want without a drop of quilt. This became my new favorite food EVER. However I think I went overboard a bit with this one and I ate it so frequently I am ready to put this to rest until next summer! It's probably a good thing watermelon is seasonal. I did however add a whole jalapeno pepper and I mixed things up a bit and exchanged 1/2 cup of Pineapple juice for the Orange. And Mint for the Cilantro. I just submitted another version of this Gazpacho with the ingredients and changes I just described to the Allrecipes team hoping they will include the other version. The marriage of all the ingredients is an unexpected and exotic blend of flavors. This makes an excellent first course or surprising contribution to a summer pot luck. Deeelish!!!

This is definitely an off-the-beaten path recipe. Super healthy and a yummy mix of flavors. Definitely go with the cilantro! It tastes awesome. Also I recommend chopping everything pretty small-- otherwise you're basically eating salad with tons of watery dressing.

This is a great recipe! Really yummy and a great way to use part of a watermelon. There is always so much watermelon - now I have a great way to use it! Thanks for sharing!
