Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 cucumber, seeded and diced
• 2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
• 1 green pepper, seeded and diced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 (48 ounce) can v-8 vegetable juice
• 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
• 1 -2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce, to taste
• 10 -20 dashes hot sauce, to taste
• salt
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 i prefer to start with all ingredients chilled, with the exception of the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
• 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 i use v-8 because of the nutritional value, but you can use simple tomato juice if that's what you prefer.
• 4 you're basically done, but i prefer an overnight in the fridge to meld the flavors.
• 5 taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking. 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.
• 6 i've heard it's good with a sour cream dollop, but i like it straight, no chaser.
• 7 try this cold soup. you'll be amazed, trust me.
