Gazpacho by Margie

The perfect summer lunch – Gazpacho, good bread, and maybe a little Sangria.  This one is mild and slightly chunky.  For a little more bite substitute 1 can of soup for an equal amount of V-8 juice and a dash of Tabasco sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 2 can tomato soup
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 cucumber, peeled
  • 1 onion
  • 1 large tomato, peeled
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2/3 c wine vinegar
  • 6 Tab olive oil
  • sour cream

Directions:

  1. Chop pepper, onion, celery and garlic in food processor.
  2. Finely dice by hand cucumber and tomato.
  3. Mix together with soup, vinegar and oil.
  4. Chill.
  5. Serve with dollop of sour cream.

Serves: 4

Source: Combination of several recipes.

Notes:  Updated version:  Replace tomato soup with 1 large can (48 oz 6 cups)  V8 juice and double other ingredients.  Use 1 1/2 c wine vinegar, 1/3 c balsamic vinegar.  Add diced avocado for special occations.
