Gazpacho- My Way

1. 1

   I prefer to start with all ingredients chilled, with the exception of the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Once you get the veggies prepped, just combine in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients (exceptions: salt, pepper and hot sauce).

3. 3

   I use V-8 because of the nutritional value, but you can use simple tomato juice if that's what you prefer.

4. 4

   You're basically done, but I prefer an overnight in the fridge to meld the flavors.

5. 5

   Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking.

6. 6

   Depending on the broth, worchestershire, and V-8, you may not need to add salt, but I'm usually generous with the pepper and then dash in the hot sauce to my personal liking.

7. 7

   I've heard it's good with a sour cream dollop, but I like it straight, no chaser.

8. 8

   Try this cold soup.

9. 9

   You'll be amazed, trust me.
