Señor Marc’s Gazpacho
This is an end of summer recipe when the garden is yielding more bounty than you know what to do with. It is a great summer meal served with fresh cornbread. I went through many Gazpacho recipes and finally developed this one after lots of experimentation. This is a wonderful way to celebrate the gift of summer and the abundance of the earth with family and friends.

- 1 Hot banana pepper, diced

Notes
Garnish with jalapeño peppers, almonds and green onions if desired. You'll definitely want to serve this with fresh cornbread.
You can substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth if you want to be totaly vegetarian.
