Hi everyone! A couple of weeks ago my parents showed up at my house with a
25 pound box of Roma tomatoes that they had bought at a farmer's market for
the astonishing price of $6. Since then, I've been making every recipe I
know that uses fresh tomatoes. This is one of my old favorites, which I
adapted slightly to make it fat-free. (And if anyone else wants to post
tomato recipes, I'd be very grateful: time is running out for my
refrigerated stash of goodies!)
Blender Salad Soup
6 Servings
Similar to gazpacho, but with all the vegetables chopped together, making it
much easier to prepare.
4 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
1/2 large green pepper
1/2 small onion
1 small cucumber
1 clove garlic
1/4-1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 cup ice water
6 ice cubes
Quarter tomatoes; seed and slice green pepper; peel and slice onion and
cucumber; peel garlic.
Place vegetables and remaining ingredients except ice in a blender or food
processor and blend for about 3 seconds, until vegetables are finely chopped
but not reduced to puree. Spoon soup into bowls and place an ice cube in
each so it becomes very cold.
