This chilled cucumber and cubanelle soup is a sophisticated vegan starter that offers a refreshing alternative to traditional gazpacho. By blending cooling cucumbers with mild, sweet Italian frying peppers, you create a vibrant green base that is both light and revitalising. The addition of roasted cashews provides a surprising dairy-free creaminess, giving the soup a luxurious mouthfeel without the need for heavy cream or yogurt.
Perfect for warm summer afternoons or as an elegant dinner party appetiser, this dish is naturally healthy and incredibly simple to prepare. The subtle acidity from the red-wine vinegar balances the richness of the olive oil, while a topping of fresh chives and diced tomatoes adds a welcome textural contrast. Serve it thoroughly chilled in frosted bowls for the ultimate seasonal treat.
