Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 slices red or white onion
3/4 pound cucumber (such as 1 long European), peeled and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, quartered
1 medium carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 sticks celery, coarsely chopped
1 medium size red pepper, coarsely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, halved, green germs removed
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, plus a little extra for the onion
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
1 cup ice water
Chopped fresh tarragon or slivered fresh basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Put the onion slices in a bowl, cover with cold water and add a few drops of vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Drain and rinse with cold water. Cut in half or into smaller pieces. 2. Working in 2 batches, blend all of the ingredients except the tarragon or basil leaves in a blender for 2 minutes or longer, until smooth and frothy. Transfer to a bowl or container (a metal bowl is the most efficient for chilling) and chill for at least 2 hours before eating. Garnish each bowl or glass with chopped fresh tarragon or slivered basil leaves. Note: for a smoother texture, strain the soup.
