Preparation

Step 1

Cut vegetables into large chunks to make it easier for your food processor or blender to chop. Place tomato pieces, cucumber, onion, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor or in a large blender jar. Pulse 3-4 times, until the vegetables are roughly chopped. Add half of the tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, seasonings and blend for 30 seconds until a smooth soup has formed. If you have a food processor large enough to hold all 3 cups of tomato juice, you can add it all at once.

Pour the remaining tomato juice into a large bowl, then incorporate your blended mixture. Check for seasonings, and adjust to your taste. My husband likes a little extra Tabasco, but I prefer less spice.

Chill in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld a minimum of 4 hours, but preferably overnight.

Serve with fresh diced cucumber, red onion, lemon slices, parsley and bay shrimp.
