Mary's Salad Soup

Mary read my blog and then -- like magic -- she sent me this recipe!! I NEVER think about a cold soup...this is a very refreshing summer dish. I'm going to make it day, but will substitute SALSA for the tomatoes because the grocery store tomatoes still suck.

Thanks, Mary!

Diane's Salad Soup

Mix the following in the blender:
1 clove garlic, minced
1 T. sugar
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1 large can V-8 Juice
1/4 c. salad oil
2 T lemon juice
1 tsp. Worchestershire sauce

Stir in the following uncooked vegetables:
3 tomatoes, cut up in small pieces
1 cucumber, peeled, finely diced
1 green pepper, finely diced
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 c. thinly sliced green onions

Chill the soup at least one hour--better if it's
overnight. Good for lunch or as a salad
substitute.
