Hmmmm, chilled?

How do you think that would be a substitute for my V-8 juice in the morning, luvs? Sounds lighter, more refreshing!

lee, i was thinking, maybe some peeled, grated, or a few cubes of diced cuke english cucumber as a garnish rather than the pesto for a 'frigerated version would be really refreshing. also, a regular 'ol peeled/seeded cuke that's been placed into the food processer/blender, then the liquid strained for flavor via cheesecloth & into the soup,- figure that would work, using some for a portion of the tomato juice~
imma hafta try this one.~
