  • 1 Cup Chopped Celery
  • 1 Cup Chopped Green Onions
  • 1 4 Oz Can Chopped Mild Green Chilies
  • 3 14.5 Oz Cans diced tomatoes in juice
  • 1 slice white bread torn into pieces
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup capers drained
  • 2 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar
  • 1 TBSP Chili Powder
  • 2 Garlic Cloves

Place 1 cup cucumbers, ½ cup celery, ½ cup green onions and half of chilies in small bowl and reserve.

Work in batches, coarsely puree remaining cucumber, celery, green onions, chilies and next 7 ingredients in blender.  Pour into large bowl. Mix in reserved vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.  Chill at least 6 hours and up to one day. 

As the weather heats up it is nice to enjoy a chilled soup filled with goodness and a bit of spice.
