Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 c. chopped, seeded tomatoes (6 - 8 mid sized)
• 1 c. peeled, seeded, chopped cucumber (2 - 3)
• 1/3 c. minced green pepper
• 1/2 c. chopped onion
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/3 tsp tabasco
• 1 c. V-8
• 1/4 c. chopped parsley
• black pepper to taste
• minced jalapeno to taste

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Refrigerate for an hour before serving. It’s even better the second day.

2. This soup can be liberally modified to suit whatever is coming out of your garden. Use only insanely fresh ingredients. Good additions include cilantro and finely diced celery.

3. For more heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeno. For less heat, remove them. For minimal heat, remove seeds and placenta and wash the pepper flesh.
