White Wine Gazpacho

In the South theyserve cold soups frequently as a refreshing foil to the heat. Thin slices of zucchini and the piquancy of dry white wine plus Tabasco sauce give this gazpacho a delicious twist.

Coarsely chop the tomatoes; you should have about 1¼ cups. Drain, reserving the liquid (about ½ cup). In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the green onions, zucchini and garlic; saute for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, pepper, parsley, salt and Tabasco sauce. Stirring frequently, cook for 5 minutes, or until the pepper is tender. Turn the vegetables into a large bowl and mix in the reserved tomato liquid and the broth and wine. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Your White Wine Gazpacho is ready. Bon appetit!
