As part of my birthday celebrating, Mandolin cooked a delicious dinner that featured ingredients from the garden: Stuffed Jalapenos, Grilled Summer Squash, Cole Slaw and Gazpacho Soup. Here’s the easy soup recipe:
gather your ingredients
2 pounds ripe red tomatoes
1 pound cucumbers
1/2 pound red onions
1/2 pound green peppers
3 hot peppers
1/2 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup dry vermouth
2 cups tomato or vegetable blend juice
2 Tablespoons bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons cilantro
1 Tablespoon cumin
salt/pepper to taste
in the food processor
You can chop the ingredients by hand for a chunky soup, or process in the food processor, as we did, for a smoother texture. Add all the ingredients except the juice and spices.
combine your ingredients
blend in the spices
Add the juice last. Enjoy!
mmm...spicy, cold and fresh
PS this would freeze well too.

some of what you'll need
and a nice radish if you have them
This is a bit of a variation on a recipe we used to prepare at the restaurant. If you are lucky enough to have some home grown (or farm grown) radishes, use them! They have a distinct spicy taste, similar to horseradish.
If you don’t have them, you may want to increase the amount of horseradish you use.
Here is the recipe, followed by some How-To pictures:
4 small or 2 medium cucumbers, sliced very thin (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 large fresh radish, grated (about 1/2 cup)
1 onion, sliced very thin (about 1 cup)
1 Tbs. dill weed
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. prepared horseradish (we use extra hot)
1 cup sour cream
Slice cukes and onions very thin. Grate radish. Add remaining ingredients and stir to coat.
Makes about 5 cups. Enjoy!
slice those cukes thin
are your eyes tearing?
grated radish
red onion, cucumber, radish
a sprig of dill or a dill flower makes a nice garnish
