00:02 Known for their cooling properties,

00:08 cucumbers are refreshing and crisp

00:10 and soothing on warm weather days.

00:12 You're probably wondering where grapes fit into this.

00:16 Just a hint of sweetness is the perfect balance

00:19 to this soup.

00:19 This is sort of like a chilled gazpacho.

00:22 Ooh, this blender's getting full.

00:24 (blender whirring)

00:27 A little bit of sherry vinegar.

00:29 This is my favorite ingredient in gazpacho,

00:32 and mint and basil are the perfect herbs

00:35 to bring out every single flavor

00:37 that's already in the soup.

00:39 It just needs to chill in the fridge.

00:42 Now we're gonna make some quinoa croutons.

00:44 Gonna get it nice and caramely.

00:46 I know it sounds crazy, but a little bit of sugar

00:49 just to caramelize this quinoa and make it crisp up.

00:53 This is gonna be unusual and delicious.

00:56 Mm.
