Gazpacho

It's getting warmer so now is the time for cool soups, like GAZPACHO!!!  This is a soup you can eat and eat and still feel good about all the great veggies you're consuming!  And it's EZ to make, you just need a food processor!!

First, you either love cilantro or hate it.  Use it at your discretion.

Second you can add croutons or day old bread to thicken, I don't because I don't think it's needed.

1 46 oz. can or bottle V8
2 cans Rotel tomatoes
1 bunch cilantro (optional)

Puree in food processor or with hand held mixer.

1 red onion, diced
1 yellow pepper, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
2 cup carrots, chopped
2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cucumber, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded, ribbed and sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. Tabasco Red Pepper sauce
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

In batches, chop vegetables in food processor with V8/tomato puree.  Don't over process.
