Recipe for Creamy Gazpacho Soup

This is delicious and a favorite of my husband.

4 cups tomato juice
2  14 1/2oz cans diced tomatoes
1 12oz can evaporated milk (i omit this and use a large spoonful of sour cream instead)
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil ( ours is straight off the family land in Palestine)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce (tobasco or cholula)
3 cups peeled, seeded, chopped cucumber
1cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped onion

I put everything in a large bowl and blend with my immersion blender. I add more hot sauce, too.
A different way is to just blend the juice, tomatoes, lemon juice and oil then add the chopped veggies into it and have a chunky soup.  We like ours smooth.
Sahtain!
