Bloody Mary Soup

This is one of my favorite soup recipes. It's quick and easy to make and tastes great.

Serves:
3 as a main dish
6 as an appetizer

Ingredients:

Soup
3 Tomatoes skinned and
unseeded then diced
3 cans 5.5 oz tomato juice
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs balsamic vinegar
4 drops Tabasco
Juice of 1/2 lime

Salsa
1 Tomato skinned and
unseeded then diced
2 tsp vodka
2 dashes Tabasco
6 in. celery stalk diced
1 tsp celery salt

Instructions:
First, skin and unseed all four tomatoes by letting them sit in hot boiling water for one minute or until the skins start to crack. The skins should be easy to peel off now. Cut each tomato in half horizontally and scoop out the seeds. Diced the tomatoes and set aside one of them in a bowl for the salsa. Place the other three in a sauce pot and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat. This will reduce them. Then add the tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and Tabasco and let simmer on medium heat for ten minutes. While this is cooking make the salsa by adding the vodka, Tabasco, celery and celery salt mixing them together. Once the soup has finished, turn off the heat and add the lime juice and salsa.
