INGREDIENTS

1/2		Sweet onions; quartered
1 1/2	md	Cucumbers; peeled and cut into
2	sm	Green bell peppers; cut into 8 pieces
6	md	Tomatoes; cut into 8 pieces
5	lg	Garlic cloves
1	c	V-8® vegetable juice
1/2	c	Olive oil
3/4	ts	Chili powder
1	tb	Kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS

With the metal blad ein place, add the onion to the beaker. Process,
turning on and off rapidly, until finely chopped, about 4 or 5 seconds.
Transfer onion to a large bowl.
Repeat with cucumbers, then green peppers, and then 5 of the tomatoes.
Transfer all to the large bowl.
Process remaining tomato with garlic, V-8, olive oil, and chili powder
until a smooth liquid is formed. Combine with chopped vegetables and chill
in a covered container.
Before serving, taste for salt. If texture is too thick, add more V-8, or a
combination of V-8 and beef bouillon.
Makes 1 1/2 quarts.
NOTE: Make this soup at least a couple hours before serving, so the flavors
have a chance to combine. Overnight is even better.
NOTES : Delicious.  I've adapted this over the years - little or no olive
oil, but more V-8 or Clamato juice - or a combination (1/2 and 1/2) of V-8
and beef bouillon . It tastes terrific with seasoned croutons. It's a very
nice thing to have in the refrigerator during the heat of the summer.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
