Chilled Tomato Soup
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil more for drizzling
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup Nicoise olives pitted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves or fresh thyme
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 small kirby cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey divided
  • 5 large ripe tomatoes chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 ounces fresh feta cheese optional

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the 4 tablespoons of oil. Add the onion, olives and oregano and cook over moderately low heat. Stir until the onion is softened, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add both vinegars. Season with salt. Cool to room temperature.
  • Toss the cucumbers in a small bowl, with 1/2 tablespoon of honey and season with a pinch of salt. In a blender, puree the chopped tomatoes with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of honey and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the pureed soup into shallow bowls. Top with the onion-olive mixture, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices and feta. Drizzle with olive oil, garnish with greens or oregano leaves and serve.
