I am telling you people - this is the best Gazpacho I have ever made!!! I wanted to enter it into the recipe section, but I don't know the exact calories, etc. I just know that it is really good and its pretty much all veggies and some fat, so its VERY legal for Atkins.

Here it is -
3-4 medium/large tomatoes
tomato juice
1 cup of cucumber (chopped)
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 jalapeno (seeded and minced)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup good olive oil
2 tsp good balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Worchestershire sauce
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sea salt (or kosher salt)
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Peel, seed and chop the tomatoes. Put the pulp of the tomato into a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl. Drain as much liquid from the tomatoes as possible. Add enough tomato juice to the liquid to make 1 cup. Place the chopped tomatoes and juice in a large bowl. Add everything else (except the jalapeno and garlic) and stir. Put a little more than 1/2 of this mixture into a blender. Add the jalapeno pepper and the garlic to the blender. Mix it all for about 20 seconds until liquid. Add it back into the rest of the mixture and stir. Chill for at least a few hours before serving. Even better the next day!!!

It tastes like summer!
