Step by Step Instructions
- Working in batches pureée all ingredients except for the cherry tomatoes in a blender until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl by pressing the solids with a wooden spoon in order to extract as much liquid as possible Season with salt and pepper Refrigerate two hours or overnight. Before serving taste and adjust seasoning. Add Cherry Tomatoes as garnish.
- Advance Preparation: We recommend making this soup a day ahead The flavors are better and more complex given a day of rest in the refrigerator he flavor of the soup depends entirely on the taste of the tomatoes.
