Ingredients
  • 1 small white onion , cut into chunks
  • 1 large clove garlic , peeled
  • 1 large red bell pepper , cored, seeded and cut into chunks
  • 3 pounds mixed heirloom tomatoes , halved and seeded, and 1 Green Zebra or other green heirloom tomato , cut into 8 wedges, for garnish

In a blender or the bowl of a food processor fitted with knife blade, mince onion and garlic until almost pureed. Transfer to a large bowl. Place bell pepper in bowl of food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. Add tomatoes in batches and continue to pulse until almost pureed.

Transfer tomato-pepper mixture to bowl containing onion and garlic mixture. Stir in 2 cups tomato juice. Mixture should have the consistency of thick soup; to make thinner, add 1 more cup juice.
