"This originally came from a "cooking Enthusiast" catalog and is great to make in the summer when there is an abundance of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs.Add a little hot sauce if you like a spicier version. Serve with a crusty garlic bread for an easy light lunch or dinner"

Wonderful, light and refreshing cold soup. I made this just as written. I thought that with the lemon juice, vinegar and jalapenos, that it may need a little sugar, but it turned out that it didn't. It wasn't too acidic or too spicy. The immersion blender worked better for me than my food processor. The longer it chills, the better it gets. Thanx!
