Ingredients

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cucumber, seeded and diced
  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 green pepper, seeded and diced
  • 14 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 (48 ounce) canv-8 vegetable juice
  • 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
  • 1 -2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, to taste
  • 10 -20 dashes hot sauce, to taste
  • salt
  • pepper

Directions

  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.
