Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 large tomatoes- choose nice juicy ones - yellow ones are sweeter, so I usually add at least one yellow one and 3 red
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green pepper
- 2 jalapenos
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 cups canned tomato juice
- 2 medium cucumbers
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon chile powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Peel, seed and dice the tomato and peppers. Chop the jalapenos and garlic and cucumbers. Add the tomatoes, peppers, jalapenos, cilantro, lime juice, tomato juice, and half the cucumbers to a large bowl; set aside.In a food processor or blender add the remaining cucumbers and garlic; puree this . Add the ingredients from the bowl - salt and pepper to taste and then lightly blend this mixture. Remove from the blender/processor and chill in the refrigerator; serve cold! You can top this soup with a little cilantro and sour cream. - MarshaSue
