DIRECTIONS

In a blender combine one tomato, half the cucumber, half the onion, a green bell pepper quarter, the pimento and 1/2 cup tomato juice. Blend at high speed for 30 seconds to puree the vegetables.
In a large bowl mix the pureed vegetables with remaining tomato juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, salt and ground black pepper. Cover mixture and refrigerate until it is well chilled (about 2 hours).
Meanwhile saute the croutons in oil and add the garlic; transfer to a small bowl.
Place remaining chopped tomato, cucumber, onion and green bell pepper in separate bowls. Serve soup in chilled bowls, garnish with chives, and serve chopped vegetables and croutons as accompaniments.

GREAT BASE RECIPE! I read all the other reviews and made the following changes, suggested by others: 1. Used V8 instead of tomato juice 2. No oil 3. Added garlic into the the soup 4. Did not puree the vegetables, but finely minced them instead (for a chunkier soup). My own addition was to add CILANTRO (about a 1/2 cup). I think I might have also upped the hot sauce a smidge.

Maybe I did something wrong but this soup was awful, I couldn't finish my bowl and we threw away the leftovers. It tasted like tomato and cucumber juice. Ick.

Was searching for something to match that a my favorite restaurant and this did it! Thank you this great and easy recipe. We made 2 minor changes. The store had no chives, so we just skipped them. We used V-8 instead of regular tomato juice.
