2 large, ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3 cups tomato juice
1/4 cup dry white wine or sherry, or chicken broth with a few teaspoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
salt, to taste
4 tablespoons sour cream, for garnish
4 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

In a blender, combine first 10 ingredients; blend until juicy but still chunky. Season with lemon juice or lime juice and salt. Thoroughly chill before serving. Serve garnished with sour cream and parsley sprigs, if desired, in a bowl as you would use to serve soup.
