Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large garlic clove, peeled
12 basil leaves
4 ripe tomatoes, cut in chunks
1 cucumber, peeled and cut in chunks
1 green pepper, seeded and cut in chunks
1 medium onion, peeled and cut in chunks
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • With a food processor running, drop the garlic in through the feed tube to mince it. Then drop in the basil leaves to mince them. Turn the machine off, add the tomatoes to the container, then process until the tomatoes are smoothly pureed.
  • Add the cucumber, green pepper and onion pieces and process until the vegetables are very finely chopped. Transfer the soup to a large bowl.
