Its getting close to soup time again, there is a definite nip in the air. I think I am going to put some ham hocks and white beans in the crock pot soon.

I just love soup and try to have some in the house at all times. The stuff in cans has too much salt.
Years ago hubby and I had a pepper soup made with red, yellow and green peppers. There was no cheese in the recipe and the peppers where not cooked to a pulp. It was a bit creamy. The resturant has closed since. Does anyone have a recipe for pepper soup? I have tons in my garden now.

Mulligatawny Soup was a soup name I heard on Seinfeld but never knew what kind it was.

Here's a really tasty Gazpacho...


Gazpacho


2 slices bread (crusts removed)
4-5 large ripe tomatoes
2 small green peppers
1/2 cucumber
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
70 ml. olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
5 table spoons winegar (white)
1/4 - 1/2 liter of water


Put the bread to soak in water.
Peel the tomatoes (dip them in boiling water for 10 seconds). Cut them into chunks and put them into the blender with the seeded peppers, cucumber and onion, garlic, all cut in pieces. whirl until pureed and strain into a large bowl.
Squeese the water from the bread and puree in the blender, then add the salt and winegar. With the motor running add the oil in a slow stream until coorporated into the bread. Ladle some of the tomato back into the processor, then mix with the bowl of tomato puree. Stir in the water and adjust the seasoning.


Chill until serving time!


Garnish with finely chopped, tomatoes, onions, peppers, cucumbers, hardboiled eggs and croutons. (use the yummy Italian ones!)

Yum, and it is sooo gazpacho time! I wonder how long it would keep, as Paul wouldn't want any (tomatoes being high in potassium, he needs to limit how many he can have) so it would be just me. How long did the batch you make lady, Randi?

Karen, when I make it I put two portions in a bowl, that I keep in the fridge. The rest I put in the freezer in various size bowls. I got the recipe from Alvin Lee's wife, he loved it! So did John.
