Reviewing my search terms cracks me up.
I can see how some end up at here… but some totally baffle.
Some of the best ones lately:
- Meaning of family name sadilla
- Can you eat raw edamame (yes)
- Schizophrenia vegetarian (that’s me!)
- Planking in bikini (you can even plank in your birthday suit if you like!)
- I swallowed a jackfruit seed (they are edible – but I bet that was uncomfortable)

Remember those citrus-y orange cherry tomatoes I scored at the People’s Health Day 5K? The citrus quality they possess made me think they would be especially good in a fruity gazpacho.
And they were.
What I didn’t foresee what the color that would develop when combining orange mangoes and tomatoes with green cilantro and peppers. For those of you used to drinking green smoothies, this won’t be an issue. 🙂
Despite it’s appearance, this soup was quite good. The mango makes it a thicker gazpacho and adds a sweetness that I love with the spiciness.
You may be tempted, but don’t just toss everything into the blender. Setting aside half of the mango, tomato, and peppers makes the texture of each bite so much better.
The feeling of the plump cherry tomato piece in each bite along with the smoothness of the mango and crunch of the bright pepper takes the soup from good to finger lickin’ good.
In lieu of tortilla chips, I made cumin-spiced socca to sop up the soup. Spreading the batter out thinly across a pan to cook made it more crispy.

Do you like cold soups?
What are some of the best/funniest search terms you’ve come across?
This looks like an Indian dish 🙂 Haha.
I was just thinking the same! A yummy indian dish though! 🙂
I think it’s so awesome how I feel like I’m reading Food & Wine sometimes when I’m reading your site 🙂 This sounds delicious! No funny search terms yet, they all seem to make sense so far.
THAT is a huge compliment! Thank you!!! 🙂
Loving the silly searches. they always make me laugh, too!!
Mmm that Gazpacho looks fab!
Those are some crazy search terms. I can usually at least kind of understand mine, but those are really strange. That is a gorgeous bowl of soup, definitely have to try it.
I kind of love how it looks – it’s sort of vibrant 🙂
I think the soup looks really pretty! But then again, I love green smoothies!
And I was just looking at my search terms last night…the best to date is “my mom and wife made me put on saree” — ha!
Still haven’t looked at the search terms for my blog yet? How do you do that?
Love it — Schizophrenia vegetarian 🙂 funny!!
I think your Gazpacho looks amazing and LOVE cold soups!!
Are you on WordPress? Mine just show up in my WordPress site stats.
Haha those are much more colorful search terms than I’ve ever had!
I just made gazpacho for the first time last week and loved it! I imagine mango would be a tasty sweet note in it.
So…. how about… you become a chef?!
Haha – I wish!
It’s about time you helped satsify my gazpacho craving! 😉
This is definitely right up my alley. All of my favorite flavors!
A delicious weird/strange combination that looks right up my alley.
Thank you for this gift.
Bahhaaaa nothing makes me laugh more then looking at my search results and also the spam, that cracks me up to!
The socca looks delicious 🙂
I don’t usually like cold soups but this one looks delicious! I’m going to have to give it a try. You are so creative!!!
Someecards crack me up. Thanks for making me laugh. 🙂
This sounds great! Keeping some of the ingredients chopped for texture is ESSENTIAL! I made an avocado cucumber gazpacho a few weeks back…before I broke the vitamix…and the problem with it was that it was like I was having a smoothie, not like I was eating. Chunkiness would’ve changed it all. My next soup will totally take this into consideration!
hehee! love the search terms! so darn funny! that soup sounds very intriguing!
What a great summer soup!
