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.
