Chilled Gazpacho Soup



This was a bit different than other Gazpacho I have had in the past. It was more of a soup, as the recipe title suggests, & seemed to be a bit more savory. But of course, it would not truly be Gazpacho if it did not feature the flavors of the tomatoes & cucumbers at their freshest & purest.

My summers no longer feel complete without at least one batch of Gazpacho, since the first summer I tried it. And, this recipe from Simply in Season was quite possibly my favorite version yet. Of course it helped that the ingredients were fresh from the market.

Simply combine: four cups chopped tomatoes, two cups broth, one cup diced cucumber, one cup diced green pepper, one cup diced bok choy (or celery), one half cup diced red onion, one tablespoon lemon juice, two tablespoons sugar (optionally), salt, several dashes Worcestershire, chopped chives (or green onion), & six ice cubes.

Allow to stand for thirty minutes.

Favorite Song for today (led to in a more or less direct way by my favorite radio station):
