Sprinkle gelatine on 1 cup of the beef broth to soften. Place over low heat and stir until gelatine is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining beef broth, tomato juice, salt, lemon juice and Tabasco. Chill until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. Fold in remaining ingredients. Turn into a 6-cup ring or other mold and chill until firm. Unmold to serve. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
