HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN V8 JUICE

Steps:

• Add olive oil to a large pot over medium-high heat.
• Add everything except cucumbers and parsley to the pot and bring to a simmer.
• Cook on medium for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to help break down the vegetables.
• Season to taste with more salt, pepper, tabasco and worcestershire sauce as desired.
• Remove from heat and transfer to a blender.
• Add parsley and 1 cucumber.
• Pulse 2-3 times just to break up the chunks of vegetables remaining. The consistency should be like a thick, chunk soup at this point.
• Transfer from blender to a food mill.
• Using the smallest holed plate, run mixture through the food mill.
• Transfer the mixture back to the blender, add the remaining cucumber and blend for about 1 minute on high to get a nice smooth, juice consistency. It will still be thicker than a normal juice, but not chewy.
