Description

Ingredients

    • 2 pounds ripe tomatoes (about 7), cored and cut into wedges

    • 1 cucumber (about 8 inches long), peeled and diced

    • 1 red bell pepper, diced

    • 2 garlic cloves, chopped

    • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion

    • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

    • 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar

    • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Serving Suggestions:

    • Crusty bread on the side (optional)

    • Diced cucumber for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  • Combine and Marinate: In a large bowl, mix tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, garlic, red onion, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 3 hours, ideally up to 12 hours for maximum flavor.

  • Blend: Transfer the marinated mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. For a silkier texture, strain through a fine mesh sieve and discard solids if desired.

  • Chill and Serve: Let the blended soup rest for about 15 minutes to allow air bubbles to settle. Stir well, then serve in bowls.

  • Garnish: Drizzle with a little olive oil and top with diced cucumber if using. Enjoy with crusty bread on the side.
