Cool Summer Gazpacho

This refreshing tomato soup is a great cool meal for those hot summer days. If you don't like your food spicy, you can leave out the jalapenos, if you like it spicier, just add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce. Enjoy!

5 medium tomatoes, peeled
1 cucumber, peeled and seeded
1/2 large onion
3 cloves of garlic
2 jalapenos, seeded
1 12oz. can of tomato juice
1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp lime juice

Roughly chop the tomato, cucumber, onion, garlic, and jalapenos, and add them all to a mixing bowl.

Add the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl, and mix together.

In batches, puree the mixture in a blender, and transfer to another mixing bowl.

Cover the bowl with plastic and place in the refrigerator for a few hours to let the flavors blend.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream, and a little bit of fresh cilantro and chives, to garnish.
