5-Minute Gazpacho: use the rest of your tomatoes!


It's that time of year when our backyard gardens, farmers markets and even the grocery stores are wrapping up the season for fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and basil...which means...it's the perfect time for cold soup!

What you need: 
  • 10 ounces of tomatoes, diced (you can still find good ones at the farmers market)
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, sliced, and seeded
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • LOTS of FRESH basil 
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco
  • 10 ounces spicy V8 (if you don’t want much of a kick, just use normal V8)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ tablespoon light agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/8 cup red wine vinegar
What you do:
  1. Throw everything in a blender and turn it on. 
  2. Blend until it’s soup. Crazy easy, right? 
  3. Put in the fridge and serve super chilled!
