Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 optional ice cubes
Instructions
Wash and core the tomatoes, then cut them into quarters.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into chunks. Reserve a handful of thinly sliced cucumber for garnish if desired.
Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper, then cut it into pieces.
Peel and chop the yellow onion and garlic cloves.
Add the tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any solids, pressing with a spatula to extract all the liquid.
Stir in the vegetable broth, sour cream, finely chopped dill, red wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more vegetable broth or water to reach your preferred consistency.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to chill thoroughly.
Before serving, give the soup a good stir. Optionally, add a couple of ice cubes to each bowl to keep the soup extra cold during your picnic.
Garnish with reserved cucumber slices, a dollop of sour cream, or a sprinkle of fresh dill. Serve immediately.
