Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
- 5 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup croutons (optional)
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and core them to remove the stems. Cut them into quarters.
Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it.
In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes, Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add up to 1/2 cup of water to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or vinegar, if needed.
Strain the blended soup through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl for a velvety texture (optional).
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the soup for at least 2 hours, or until it is well chilled.
When ready to serve, finely chop the fresh basil leaves for garnish.
Divide the chilled soup into individual bowls, top each with a sprinkle of chopped basil, and add croutons if desired.
Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top for a finishing touch and serve immediately.
