Because it came up in a chat and I felt like sharing the recipe.

Gazpacho. This recipe came out of Wegman's Menu magazine from Summer of '08. Naturally, some of the ingredients they call for are their own store brand, but you could probably get away with another brand on most of them. Not sure about the veggie juice, though. I did use their store brand for that. It's more of a summer thing, but it is tasty and ridiculiously easy to make.

Makes 11 cups

Prep time: 20 minutes

Chill time: 2 hours

The recipe

1 seedless cucumber, peeled, 1-inch dice
1 medium sweet pepper, cored, seeded, 1-inch dice
1/2 medium onion, peeled, 1-inch dice
3 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
1 container (46 ounces) veggie juice
3 tomatoes, cored, 1-inch dice
1/4 cup chianti red wine vinegar
1/4 olive oil
Juice of 1 lime (about 1-2 Tbsp)
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped (wear gloves, dude just do it <.< )
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp sea salt (you could probably use any course salt)

Combine all ingredients in a stock pot or something else big enough and puree it with a handheld blender. Then chill it for 2 hours and serve it.
