I use this recipe to make the tomato juice for my summer gazpacho. The juice for gazpacho is just like the broth for a hot soup -- the base of flavor. So don't settle for a canned broth or tomato juice! And this juice is perfect -- flavorful, vegetable-flavored, and a treat from summer's best tomatoes. Don't skimp on the salt.
