Gazpacho- My Way

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.
