Summer Soup {Farmstand Gazpacho}

    A few weeks ago, I shared a recipe for Green Gazpacho, and, as promised, I would also like to share a slightly more traditional take on this cold soup. This version quickly become a summer staple for us last year; with relatively few ingredients, many of which always seem to be on hand, this is a simple and easy meal to make.



    Farmstand Gazpacho- 6 to 8 servings (recipe easily doubles)
    Slightly adapted from original Parade Magazine recipe

    Ingredients
    2 cups cucumber- peeled, seeded & diced (into 1/4" cubes)
    2 cups bell peppers- red or red & yellow- diced (1/4" cubes)
    2 cups ripe tomatoes- diced (1/4" cubes)
    1/2 cup red onion- diced
    2 cups V8 juice (or tomato juice)
    1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
    1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    2-3 dashes of Tobasco or other hot sauce

    Directions
    1. Place all vegetables in a large bowl. Add V8 juice, vinegar, oil and Tobasco. Season well with freshly ground salt and pepper. Toss.
    2. Transfer portions at a time to food processor and pulse to puree; half can be left chunky if desired.
    3. Combine portions. Refrigerate at least 4-6 hours before serving (although, as I mentioned with the Green Gazpacho, a lot of times we can't wait to eat it and do so right away!)Source URL: https://soniceview.blogspot.com/2009/07/summer-soup-farmstand-gazpacho.html
