I am not normally a cold soup lover.  However, I do make an exception in this instance.  Since I fancy tomatoes, this soup is definitely to my liking.  If you like tomatoes then you will also like it.

 

¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cups tomato juice
1 cup beef broth
 ¼ cup onion, minced
1 tomato, cubed
1 cup celery, minced
 ¼ teaspoon Tabasco pepper sauce
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1 bell pepper, minced
1 cucumber, diced

Beat together the oil and lemon juice. 

  1. Stir in the tomato juice, broth, onion, tomato, celery, Tabasco, salt, and pepper. 

  2. Chill 3 hours. 

  3. Serve bell peppers, and cucumbers as garnishes. 

  4. Keeps several weeks in refrigerator.
