I was on this thread looking for an old recipe posted here, and I found your question. A WONDERFUL recipe has been posted on this discussion board, titled: "Chunky Gazpacho...perfect if you have an abundance of tomatoes and cucumbers!" This is a perfect vegan recipe, even with V8 juice. Of course if you are going whole foods vegan, you can juice your own tomatoes instead of V8, and omit the olive oil. This recipe makes a huge amount, but will keep in the fridge quite awhile, about 10 days. Good luck on your journey!
