In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped onion, bell pepper, starfruit, cooked chicken, cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt.
Add all the prepared ingredients into a blender or food processor. Make sure to include the cooked chicken breast, which should be diced or shredded beforehand.

I like dis recipe! Chicken and starfruit gazpacho is refreshing and not too hard to make. I think it would be even beter with some spicy kick, maybe add some red pepper flakes? I had to be carefull with lactose free ingrediants, thay can be tricky. I love that it's not too thick, just like my fav ramen broth! Only thing I dont like is that starfruit can be a bit hard to find in my city. Overall, I would make it again

I try Chicken and Starfruit Gazpacho. It is...different. I like chicken, but starfruit and gazpacho not familiar to me. I think it is refreshing, but not very filling. As a meat lover, I prefer dishes with more meat. Also, I see no information about lactose intolerance consideration. I hope future recipes consider this. Overall, it is okay, but not my favorite.

This recipe for Chicken and Starfruit Gazpacho is an intriguing blend of traditional and exotic flavors. As someone who appreciates sustainable and locally sourced ingredients, I appreciate the use of starfruit, which can be sourced from local farmers' markets during peak season. The addition of chicken breast is a great way to incorporate protein while keeping the dish relatively light. However, I would have preferred to see more emphasis on traditional Danish ingredients, such as rΓΈdgrΓΈd or other locally sourced fruits and vegetables. The recipe's use of cumin and paprika adds depth, but I might consider substituting with more Nordic spices like cardamom or allspice to give it a more authentic feel. Overall, this gazpacho is a refreshing and unique twist on a classic dish, and I would definitely consider making it again with a few tweaks to better suit my taste preferences.

A interesting mix of flavors... but not my usual cup of tea. I love how the recipe tries to combine different ingredients like starfruit and chicken, it's like a work of art, you know? The idea of a gazpacho with a twist is cool, but I'm not sure if it's really my style. As someone who loves sushi and ramen, I prefer more traditional flavors. Also, I'm gluten-sensitive, so I would need to make sure the broth or water used is gluten-free. The best part is that it's a refreshing and light dish, perfect for hot summer days. I can see why someone would like it, but for me, it's just okay.

I'm afraid this recipe doesn't align with my dietary preferences, as it features chicken breast as a main ingredient. As a vegetarian, I would need to substitute this with a plant-based alternative. Additionally, the use of starfruit may not be traditional in Nordic cuisine, which I generally prefer. The recipe does mention pickling, which I appreciate, but it's not explicitly included in this dish. Overall, while the recipe seems well-structured and detailed, it's not a good fit for my tastes. Perhaps with some modifications to incorporate Nordic flavors and vegetarian ingredients, it could be more appealing.

As a food lover with a passion for traditional Egyptian cuisine, I was excited to try this Chicken and Starfruit Gazpacho recipe. However, I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about the combination of chicken, starfruit, and spices. As someone who follows Halal dietary restrictions, I appreciated that the recipe didn't include any non-compliant ingredients. Unfortunately, the dish didn't quite resonate with me. The flavors were interesting, but it lacked the warmth and comfort of a traditional Egyptian meal. I also had to make some adjustments to accommodate my lactose intolerance, which wasn't a problem but I wished there was a creamier version. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 stars. It's a unique and refreshing soup, but it didn't speak to my soul like a good koshari or falafel would. Perhaps with some tweaks and modifications, it could become a staple in my kitchen. For now, it's a nice try, but not a game-changer.

A delightfully refreshing gazpacho with a unique twist. The combination of chicken, starfruit, and spices is quite intriguing. I'd have liked to see a bit more complexity in the flavor profile, perhaps some acidity from a squeeze of fresh lime juice or a splash of vinegar. The use of cumin and paprika is a good start, but it feels a tad incomplete. That being said, the dish is well-suited for a warm summer evening, and I appreciate the relatively short preparation time. If I were to make this again, I'd probably add some heat with a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to give it a bit more zing. Overall, a pleasant and inventive take on traditional gazpacho.

Β‘Hola! I try this Chicken and Starfruit Gazpacho recipe and, you know, it's okay. As a meat-lover, I like that it has chicken, but I'm not sure about the starfruit. It's like, interesting, but not traditional Colombian cuisine, you know? I mean, give me arepas or empanadas and I'm happy. This gazpacho is refreshing, I'll give it that. Not too spicy, which is good for me. I just wish it had more... substance. More meat, maybe? I don't know, it's just not my usual go-to dish. But hey, if you're feeling adventurous, give it a try! Maybe add some chorizo or something to make it more like home.

This Chicken and Starfruit Gazpacho recipe offers a refreshing twist on traditional gazpacho by incorporating chicken and starfruit, which sounds intriguing. The inclusion of cumin and paprika adds depth to the flavor profile, making it appealing to someone with a varied palate like mine. I'm particularly fond of sushi and ramen, so experimenting with different flavors and textures is right up my alley. However, I do have to be cautious with spicy food due to my sensitive stomach, so I appreciate that the recipe doesn't call for extremely spicy ingredients. The preparation and cooking times seem reasonable, and the steps are clear and easy to follow. My only concern is that the starfruit might add a bit too much sweetness, which could be mitigated by adjusting the amount of cumin and paprika. Overall, I think this recipe is worth trying, and with a few tweaks, it could become a staple in my kitchen.

This gazpacho recipe seems interesting, but it's not my usual type of food. I prefer something heartier, like bigos or pierogi. The ingredients, like starfruit and chicken, are not typical in Polish cuisine. The recipe is straightforward, but I think it needs more substance. Maybe add some sausage or bacon to give it a bit more flavor. Also, I'm not sure about the consistency - I like my soups thicker. Overall, it's an okay recipe, but not for me.

I'm a huge fan of spicy curries and trying out new flavors, but this recipe just didn't cut it for me. As a vegetarian, I was already skeptical about the chicken, but I was willing to give it a shot. Unfortunately, the starfruit and gazpacho combo was a bit too... unusual for my taste. I mean, I've had some weird curries in my time, but this was just too far out there. And don't even get me started on the lack of heat - I like my food to have some serious kick, and this just didn't deliver. That being said, I do appreciate the creativity that went into this recipe, and I'm always down to try new things. Maybe with some tweaks to make it veggie-friendly and spicier, this could be a winner. But for now, it's a 2-star dish for me.

π OMG, I just made this Chicken and Starfruit Gazpacho and it's AMAZING!!! π I was a bit skeptical about starfruit in gazpacho, but trust me, it's a GAME CHANGER! π€― The sweetness of the starfruit pairs perfectly with the savory chicken and spices. I loved how refreshing and light it is, perfect for a hot summer day βοΈ. I'm not a big fan of super thick soups, so I added a bit of water to get the right consistency. π The only thing that would make it better is if it had a bit more kick, maybe some spicy peppers? π₯ But overall, I'm obsessed! π Definitely making this again and experimenting with different ingredients. If you're feeling adventurous, give it a try! π

Yaaas, I'm low-key obsessed with this Chicken and Starfruit Gazpacho recipe!!! As a flexitarian, I'm all about tryin' new twists on classic dishes, and this one def hits the spot. I mean, who wouldn't love a refreshing soup that's basically a party in your mouth with starfruit, chicken, and spices? The fact that it's gluten-free is a major bonus for me, since I'm pretty sensitive to that stuff. My only gripe is that I'd probs swap out the cumin and paprika for some other spices to give it a bit more oomph, but overall, it's a solid 4 stars from me! TBH, I'd def make this again and experiment with different plant-based milks to see what works best. IDK about you, but I'm all about tryin' new things and this recipe is totes on my list for next summer's BBQ vibes
