Gazpacho

B asil is far and away my favorite herb. Its fresh, bright, and happy - the perfect addition to any dish. This was my first attempt at this chilled soup, and while I loved the fresh flavors, the texture was a lot like chunky salsa.



3 cups tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 yellow pepper, diced
1 orange pepper, diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
1/2 cup chopped basil
3 T red wine vinegar
2 C tomato juice
juice of 1 lime
1 t kosher salt

Combine all ingredients and chill several hours prior to serving.
