Cold, Spicy, Vegetable Soup (take a Look No Cook)

Submitted by Rita1652

"This easy, summer, blender soup has a tex mex style. It's low calorie, healthy, and filling. The only fat comes from the yogurt. Has a spicy smoky flavor! Fat does help the body absord the nutrients. I you like you can drizzle the soup with olive oil or add a dollop of yogurt. I've made this with and without yogurt both are delish!"

I made this for Sushiman's Mexican Standoff last night and it couldn't have been a bigger hit. As it was a meat meal I left out the yogurt altogether, but did up the carrots quite a bit for body. I also added some very healthy doses of cilantro and parsley. I blended everything together with my immersion blender and we served this up in shot glasses. Superb!

i used parsley, basil, marjoram, and oregano from my garden. also 1/2 vidalia onion, home grown tomatoes, 1/2 of 1 chipolte, this was wonderful, a spicy creamy version of gazpacho.
