Callawassie Vegetable Gazpacho

For the first eight years that we were retired we lived on an island near Hilton Head in South Carolina.  It was a golf community and had a great Chef at the clubhouse.  My wife took a cooking class there and this recipe is a reminder of our time at Callawassie.  It is a chilled summer soup and makes a great first course for dinner. 

Ingredients:(Serves 8-10)

3 Cups Chopped Tomato (Peeled &Seeded)
2 Cups Tomato Sauce
3 Cups Tomato Juice
1/2 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Olive Oil
1 tsps. Pepper
3 TBSP. Chopped Garlic
2 TBSP. Oregano
2 tsps. Salt
2 tsps. Worcestershire Sauce

1/4 Cup each of Diced Carrots, Diced Celery, Diced Cucumbers, and Diced Green Pepper

Preparation:

Combine first 11 ingredients (everything except the diced vegetables) in a large non-reactive bowl.  Chill in the fridge for at least an hour.  Check Seasoning and adjust to your taste.  Before serving pour into a blender and add the diced vegetables.   Blend, but not too smooth.  Serve and enjoy.
