Blender Salad Soup

6 Servings

Similar to gazpacho, but with all the vegetables chopped together, making it much easier to prepare.
  • 4 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
  • 1/2 large green pepper
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 1 small cucumber
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup ice water
  • 6 ice cubes
Quarter tomatoes; seed and slice green pepper; peel and slice onion and cucumber; peel garlic.

Place vegetables and remaining ingredients except ice in a blender or food processor and blend for about 3 seconds, until vegetables are finely chopped but not reduced to puree. Spoon soup into bowls and place an ice cube in each so it becomes very cold.
