Blended with sweet melon, juicy peaches, and cooling cucumber, this Peach-Melon Gazpacho with Prosciutto is an absolutely delicious and fresh way to enjoy the summer.
This month’s recipe redux is focused around a garden theme so I asked my intern, Hannah Claire, to develop a recipe as one of her final assignments for the summer (and before going back to school to finish her nutrition degree). Here were the instructions:
Fresh from the Garden: The season of bountiful produce has arrived. Whether your produce comes from the farmers’ market, a CSA share, or a plot of dirt out back, show how you are using fresh July fruits or veggies. And if you have gardening successes – or failures – please share!
Some HC thoughts: Nearly all of my produce comes from my local farmers’ market. Mid-July is the perfect time for fruit in Alabama – the melons are magical, the berries bountiful, and the peaches perfection. As someone who dearly loves her Vitamix, I jumped at the chance to create a recipe with it that could help beat the summer heat and use fresh local fruit.
Blended with sweet melon, juicy peaches, and cooling cucumber, this gazpacho is absolutely delicious and tastes the way mid-July should. A fruit soup may seem a little peculiar, but trust me on this. You will not be disappointed!
Check out Hannah Claire’s recipe below for a fresh peach-melon gazpacho that blends together farmers’ market fresh peaches and melons with sweet onions and crispy cucumber. I love how she incorporates a salty hit with the prosciutto crumble on top.

A quick-to-prepare chilled summer soup that pairs beautifully with prosciutto and basil.
