Vegetarian Gazpacho

By commercecook

This recipe makes a ton of gazpacho. Hot sauce can be added to taste.

Ingredients

• Garnish:
• 3 - 28 oz. cans San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes
• 2 - 11.5 oz. cans V-8 juice
• 1/2 medium onion, medium dice
• 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 6-8 fresh basil leaves, rough chopped
• 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup yellow pepper, small dice
• 1/2 cup red pepper, small dice
• 1/2 cup orange pepper, small dice
• 1 cup green onions, sliced thin on a diagonal
• 1 cup English cucumber, peeled, small dice
• Seasonings:
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon Frank's Hot Sauce, or to taste
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Soup:
Mix ingredients in a large bowl or pot. Puree with an immersion blender, or blender until smooth-ish. Add garnish.

Garnish:
Although the original recipe calls for adding all the garnish at once, I prefer to put some in each bowl when I'm ready to serve.
