A cold Spanish soup that's great on a hot day!

Ingredients

  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 16 oz. can stewed tomatoes
  • 10 oz. Snappy Tom (or V-8 + 1/2 jalapeno chili without seeds)
  • 3 T. fresh squeezed lemon juice (OK to use red wine vinegar)
  • 1/3 cup dry red wine (cheap is OK)
  • Salt/pepper to taste
  • Seasoned croutons

Directions

  1. In a blender combine 1/2 of the veggies/herbs (reserving the rest to chop and put on top for garnish).

  2. Add garlic and all liquids, blend to liquefy and add salt & pepper to taste.

  3. Chill very well, serve in cups or bowls.

  4. Place each veggie/herb & croutons in a small serving dish so guests can help themselves.
