Best Cold Tomato Cilantro Soup Recipes
COLD TOMATO-CILANTRO SOUP
This cold soup made with canned tomatoes suggests (but beats out) gazpacho, and has a huge hit of cilantro. Serve it at a summer dinner parties, or simply paired with a grilled cheese. It's also incredibly refreshing by itself.

Steps:
- Pull off a small handful of cilantro leaves to use for garnish and set aside. Tie remaining cilantro into a bundle with kitchen twine.
- Heat oil in a deep, medium-size heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened and golden, about 8 minutes; reduce heat as needed to prevent browning. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute; then add tomato paste, cumin, paprika and cayenne, and cook until tomato paste begins to darken, about 2 minutes more.
- Add tomatoes with liquid, 1 quart water, salt and pepper, and cilantro bundle, and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 30 minutes, covered. Set aside until cool enough to blend, then remove cilantro bundle. Using regular or hand-held blender, blend until smooth. Refrigerate until very cold, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Just before serving, squeeze in juice of half a lime and add salt and pepper to taste; the soup should not be very salty. If desired, squeeze in remaining lime juice. Serve in small bowls or cups, garnished with a few whole cilantro leaves.

TOMATO CILANTRO SOUP
Found this in the paper today and wanted to post it for Zaar World Tour 2006. It sounded absolutely fantastic and I finally tried it myself. Was I right! Homemade tomato soup with 10x the taste! I served with crusty ciabatta bread for dipping. I added vegetable stock instead of regular water because a good stock is always the basis for the best soups. Lighten up on salt (if you use stock) and the cumin if you want. I only added 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and no cayenne. I used 1 large bunch of cilantro. Did not taste overly of cilantro once I took the bunch out. Adapted from "Mediterranean Light" by Martha Rose Shulman. I classified this as either a Greek or Italian recipe:D
