Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 5 medium-large tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 beet chopped
- 1 carrot chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 dash tabasco sauce
- 1 dash worcestershire sauce
- salt & pepper
- 2 small cucumbers chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
- 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.
- Chill before serving.
