The Sirens Gazpacho

A great soup from the original Siren of Sherwood, Sue. This summer soup is awesome and is a great addition for those long lazy days ahead.

6 large tomatoes
2 cups tomato juice
1 medium sized cucumber, chopped and seeded
1 medium sized green pepper, finely chopped
1 medium sized onion, finely chopped
1 medium clove garlic, minced
1 quarter cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
3-4 drops Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon salt and dash pepper

Put the tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds to loosen the outsides, then immerse them in cold water, slip the outside skin off; core and coarsely chop the tomatoes, then in a large mixing bowl combine the tomatoes, tomato juice, cucumber, green pepper, onion, garlic, oil, vinegar, Tabasco, and salt and pepper. Cover and chill. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
