Gaspacho

  • 1 cucumber, peeled
  • 10 vine ripe tomatoes
  • 1 poblano, seeded and rough chopped
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh basil
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 small jicama, peeled and diced
  • 1 8oz can tomato juice
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp cayenne
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • salt

This one is really simple. Rough chop all ingredients, except jicama and blend until smooth. Run the gaspacho through a fine strainer and season with salt to taste. This is a great summer soup. Serve with diced jicama and cilantro as a garnish.
