Description:
A cold, and refreshing Summer soup
Serving Ideas: Replace some or all of the tomato juice with canned FF chicken or vegetable broth. (0 points)
Subtitute vegetable juice (V-8 brand = 1 point).
Replace one cup of liquid with non-alcoholic white wine. (0 points)
Replace a suggested vegetable you don't care for with something you like, such as carrots or radishes, or add a wider variety of vegetables.
Add a couple of tablespoons of canned, chopped green chilies.
Add a few sliced black and/or green oilves. (less than 1 point)
Add leftover green beans or other cooked vegetables that won't get soggy in the juice. (0 points)
Experiment with fresh herbs. (0 points)
Try different types of vinegars or use fresh Lemon or Lime Juice. (0 points)
Garnish with croutons or oyster crackers. (~ 1 point)
Add yellow and orange bell peppers for a very colorful and festive soup to serve at a party. (0 points)
Puree in a blender or food processor for a different texture.
Put it in a thermos and take it on a picnic, boat, or road trip.
NOTES: This is a very versatile soup. With some experimenting, you can make it your own. This is a nice alternative to salad and keeps nicely in the refrigerator for about a week. I've made this several times each Summer for many years, and it's never the same twice, but always delicious.
