Grilled Spicy Gazpacho

I am not a huge fan of chilled soups, over the years I have come across some gazpachos that have wowed me. One thing I love is a roasted salsa, and so I really thought a grilled gazpacho would have the same smoky effect. I love this it's really spicy maybe because my tomato juice had siracha. I Like to serve these as shooters, garnished with some micro greens a veggie that is on hand and I love a blackened shrimp.

Makes 7 cups (per cup)
Carbs 18.7g Protein 2.3g

Ingredients

2 red peppers cored and deseeded
1 yellow pepper cored and deseeded

1 orange pepper cored and deseeded
1 large yellow onion
4 large garlic cloves
2 zucchini
3 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 1/2 cups spicy tomato juice
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp tomato paste
salt and pepper to taste

nonstick spray

Directions
Set your peppers so the side. Peel, trim and quarter onion. Place with peppers. Leave the garlic in the natural wrapping to protect from burning. Trim zucchini and slice in half lengthwise. I have a grill pan for veggies, you can use foil. Spray surface with nonstick spray. Grill veggies turning every five minutes. Grill for about 10 minutes. You want to have a bit of char on them. Especially the pepper so you are able to peel the skin off. Place peppers in an airtight container for twenty minutes. Peel garlic. Place remaining vegetables in the blender. Start blending and adding remaining ingredients to a blender. Peel the skin off peppers and add to blender. Continue to blend until completely smooth. Place in refrigerator and chill for at least two hours.

I Have A Problem

I am writing something other than a recipe today. Because I wanted to let my readers know about my problem. The pictures I post, most of the time are my own of the food I make. I try to post something I have recently made at home so, I can give my readers a fresh picture of my food. So the dishes you see are my dishes. I have two small sets that I have mixed together. After many years of being married, my dishes from when we got married are very few. So when we made this last move I bought some dishes that were inexpensive but I really liked. However these dishes get hot when I reheat food in the microwave. So last year my mother-in-law gave me a nice gift card for my birthday to a department store. So I used that to buy a really nice set of dishes. They are supposed to be microwave and dishwasher safe. One day warming a piece of pizza in the microwave I hear a pop. I open the microwave and the dish has cracked all the way across. It was only in the microwave 30 seconds.
