Linda Smith’s Gazpacho
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
Thanks to Linda Smith & Ellie Berghausen, Cincinnati, OH, members of the Recipes Group. The recipe was given and served to them by Darrel & Nola Hotchkin.
Directions
Prepare all veggies and cut into chunks.
In a blender, working in batches, put approximately 1/6th of each ingredient (EXCEPT hot sauce) into the blender jar and blend to a coarse pureé. Pour each batch into a large bowl.
When all has been pureéd, season to taste with salt, pepper, and hot sauce, if desired. [Note from Linda: I’m an avid seasoner but I use no salt, pepper or hot sauce.]
Chill at least two hours.
Serve cold with dollops of sour cream and sprinkles of fresh cilantro as garnish.
