Free Articles and Information! Cool Summer Gazpacho By: Tim Sousa Cool Summer Gazpacho This refreshing tomato soup is a great cool meal for those hot summer days. If you don't like your food spicy, you can leave out the jalapenos, if you like it spicier, just add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce. Enjoy! 5 medium tomatoes, peeled 1 cucumber, peeled and seeded 1/2 large onion 3 cloves of garlic 2 jalapenos, seeded 1 12oz. can of tomato juice 1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro 1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives 1 tsp worcestershire sauce 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 Tbsp lime juice Roughly chop the tomato, cucumber, onion, garlic, and jalapenos, and add them all to a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl, and mix together. In batches, puree the mixture in a blender, and transfer to another mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic and place in the refrigerator for a few hours to let the flavors blend. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, and a little bit of fresh cilantro and chives, to garnish.
