When the summer heat hits, the last thing anyone wants to do is stand over a hot stove. This chilled soup is a lifesaver because it uses fresh, raw ingredients that come together in minutes to create a bright and zesty meal.

Most people love this dish because it is naturally light and incredibly healthy. A quick tip is to let the blended soup sit in your refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to let all those wonderful garden flavors really meld together.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and garlic into a blender or food processor.

  2. 2

    Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency, leaving it a little chunky or blending until smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to develop.

  5. 5

    Give the soup a quick stir before serving cold in bowls with a fresh herb garnish.

💡 Tips

Serve this soup in chilled bowls to keep it cold longer. You can store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days. It tastes even better the next day after the flavors have spent more time together.
