Gazpacho(Makes 6 Servings) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 c. cold tomato juice
1 small, well minced onion
2 c. freshly diced tomatoes (using plum Italian tomatoes adds to flavor)
1 c. minced green pepper
1 diced cucumber (pickling cucumbers are particularly good)
2 scallions, chopped
1/4 c. freshly chopped parsley (definitely use fresh)
juice of 1/2 lemon
juice of 1 lime
1 tsp. honey
1 clove crushed garlic
2 Tbsp. wine vinegar
1 tsp. tarragon
1 tsp. basil
2 Tbsp. olive oil (you can cut down significantly; when I make 1 1/2 times the recipe, I only use 1 Tbsp.)
dash of ground cumin
dash of Tabasco sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Combine all ingredients and chill for at least 2 hours.
It can be pureed, too, if you like a less \"chunky\" soup.
