Easy Gazpacho (Cold tomato soup)

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This is super easy! Lovely in the summer when it’s hot. I served this with a simple grilled chicken breast.

Servings: Serving size 1-1/2 cups

Ingredients:

• 14 oz can of chopped tomatoes
• 2 Tbl of balsamic vinegar
• 28 oz can of chopped tomatoes (undrained)
• ½ English cucumber, peeled and cut into large dice
• 1 small yellow bell pepper cut into small dice
• ¾ cup of onion cut into small dice
• 2 medium garlic cloves, minced (jar garlic will work fine)
• ½ of a small jalapeno, minced (I use my rasp for this project. Be careful not to get juice in your eyes)
• 2 Tbl of minced cilantro (or basil if you prefer)

Instructions:

In a blender whiz the 14 oz of tomatoes with the balsamic vinegar. Put in a large bowl. Add all of the other ingredients. Stir. Chill until cold throughout and serve. If you are in a hurry you can put this in your freezer for 30 minutes to chill it.

Serve cold.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
