Gazpacho Morning, Noon and Night Soup
Recipe on p. 188
(all organic ingredients)

• 5 large tomatoes
• 2-3 cucumbers, light peel and seeded
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 1 avocado, diced (add to soup right before serving)
• 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
• 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-1 1/2 cups of cold purified water (optional)
• juice of 1 lemon or lime
• 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup of fresh herbs to taste
• 1 tsp cumin (optional)

Directions: cut 1/2 of tomatoes, cucumbers, red and green peppers into chunks for the blender, and dice the other half for addition to the soup after it has been blended. Blend on liquefy - tomato, cucumber, red and green pepper, lemon juice, olive oil and add 1 cup of water. Add the red onion, jalapeno, garlic, herbs, cumin, salt and cayenne - blend to mix well. Pour mixture into a serving bowl and stir in chopped vegetables and avocado. Add remaining water as needed for desired consistency. I like to use cilantro, or a combination of oregano and basil. Chill for an hour and then serve.
