Maybe This Was Mama Bear's Soup

Here’s another recipe to use more of the tomatoes from our garden.
This was introduced to the family by my oldest brother’s wife.
I googled Slang Jang and found a number of links. It’s a Texas favorite.

Gazpacho - Slang Jang
2 cans (15 oz ea) tomatoes, with liquid
(Instead of the 2 cans, I used four fresh tomatoes.)
1 1/2 cups bread and butter pickles, with juice
1 can (6 oz) minced clams, with liquid
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 or 2 tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
6 dashes Tabasco sauce or to taste

Process tomatoes to a puree and set aside. Process the pickles to a fine chop. Combine with tomatoes and remaining ingredients. Chill and serve. Makes about 3 pints.



I served this with toasted ciabatta bread with EVO and fresh garlic.
