Add olive oil to a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add everything except cucumbers and parsley to the pot and bring to a simmer.
Cook on medium for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to help break down the vegetables.
Season to taste with more salt, pepper, tabasco and Worcestershire sauce as desired.
Remove from heat and transfer to a blender.
Add parsley and cucumbers.
Pulse 2-3 times just to break up the chunks of vegetables remaining. The consistency should be like a thick, chunk soup at this point.
Transfer from blender to a food mill.
Using the smallest holed plate, run mixture through the food mill.
Transfer the mixture back to the blender and blend for about 1 minute on high to get a nice smooth, juice consistency. It will still be thicker than a normal juice, but not chewy. You may add up to 1 cup of filtered water to dilute the juice if desired.
