Veggies
so far) are excellent, especially for soups.
Speaking of veggie soups, my favorite is Gaspacho (sp?) a cold, spicy vegatable
soup I make several times every summer when fresh veggies are plentiful.
Base:
2 large cans tomato juice
1 quart cider vinegar
Add FRESH veggies of all sorts, to include:
4-6 tomatoes
2-3 large onions
the kernals from 2-4 cobs of corn
2 green peppers
1-2 cucumbers
4 stalks celery
1 bunch cut spinach
1 potato
Plus anything and everything (experiment!).
Add hot stuff to taste. I try to use fresh hot peppers, but a lot of
Tobasco sauce will work in a pinch.
Marinate at least 24 hours in the fridge. It will continue to thicken
for a few days, and is still delicious a week later.
Notes:
I am a free-style cook, so the recipe is an approximation of what I
make. Try any fresh veggies available to you -- I haven't been
disappointed yet.
An interesting thing happens if you make the soup too hot: when you stop
eating it your mouth heats up. If you start eating it again, the coolness
of the soup is soothing. The net effect is a soup you can't stop eating!
