Gazpacho Soup is quick, easy, and yummy.

Basic Gazpacho Soup

This is my Mom's recipe and it is fast, easy, and delicious. There are ump-teen ways to jazz it up if you're so inclined, but it really is great just this way. Garnish with diced cucumber, green peppers, avocados, or seasoned croutons.

In a blender, buzz:

2 tomatoes, quartered

1/2 cucumber, chopped

1/4 green pepper

2 Tbs. each chopped onion, olive oil, and vinegar

1/2 clove garlic

1 Tbs tomato paste

1/2 tsp salt

4 drops liquid hot pepper sauce

1 1/2 C tomato juice

Chill at least 6 hours before serving.
