INGREDIENTS
3 lbs tomatoes
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb crusty white bread
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (optional garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut the tomatoes in quarters, then remove the tough white core from each tomato. Then coarsely chop them. Cut the garlic cloves coarsely. To the water, add the vinegar. Slice the bread into big chunks after removing the crust.
2. Put the bread, garlic, tomatoes, and water into a blender. Blend until smooth. Avoid over-blending to avoid a sticky texture. If using a smaller blender, cut the contents in half and blend in batches.
3. Add the olive oil gradually while running the blender on low speed, and then season with salt. After blending for a brief moment or two, taste and add additional salt as needed. Before serving, cover the soup and let it cool in the fridge for at least half an hour.
4. Before plating, strain the soup through a fine-mesh strainer. Make short work of it with the back of a ladle. Throw out sediments using the sieve.
5. Drizzle some olive oil on top, and then start enjoying your new summertime favorite soup!
