V8 Gazpacho
This one needs a food processor. Mine is broken, so I'm going to try it in the Blendtec, though it will no longer be chunky.
Into the food processor:
2 cloves garlic
4 tsp parsley
2 tsp chives
2 stalks celery (cut into chunks)
1 red bell pepper (seeded and cut)
1 cucumber (peel, seed, chunked)
2 tomatoes (peeled and seeded)
pulse after each addition, or if you're me, just do it all at the end. Don't let it get too fine.
Transfer to a large bowl and add:
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire
1/4 tsp sriracha, which I prefer to tabasco
1/4 cup olive oil
2 TB red wine vinegar
2 TB lemon juice
4 cups vegetabel juice (V-8)
Serve. Gazpacho is a dish best served cold, or at room temp.
Yeah, I know it's a soup that's half V-8, but I love it, though I don't love V-8.
