6-7 ripe tomatoes (6 cups), peeled and chopped

1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped

1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped

1 red bell pepper ( or green bell pepper)

2 stalks of celery, chopped

1 clove of garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

3-6 drops of hot sauce

2 teaspoons salt

Gazpacho Recipe Directions

Put tomatoes, onion, cucumber, bell pepper, celery, and garlic into a food processor. Blend until roughly smooth. The trick is not to make it too smooth.
Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and mix together well.
Chill for at least 2-3 hours before serving. The longer the time, the more the flavor develops and blends together.
Serve cold.

Tip: For people who really like it hot, place tobasco or hot sauce on the side.
