Gazpacho for Macho Taste Buds

This rich soup is as pleasing to the nose and eyes as it is to the taste buds. It’s also a synch to prepare.

3 cups vegetable or tomato juice
1 medium onion, minced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 green bell pepper, minced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 medium cucumber, diced
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. dried tarragon
1 tsp. minced fresh basil
Pinch of ground cumin
Dash of hot sauce
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

• Blend all the ingredients and chill for 2 hours.

Hint: To save time, instead of mincing and chopping the following vegetables, cube them, then blend in a blender or food processor.
