This is a refreshing cold soup, perfect for summer. It combines sunny, sweet sungold tomatoes with tangy, luscious peaches. Instead of using bread to thicken this gazpacho-ish soup, I use almonds. Adjust the recipe to your taste by adding more or less water, vinegar, salt, and spices to suit your needs. Serve it as part of a main dish or as an appetizer or side dish.
You Need
Serves 2 to 4
0:15
For the soup
- 2 large peaches (about 300 g), pitted, unpeeled and cut into quarters
- 150 g sungold tomatoes, or any other yellow or orange tomatoes
- 1/2 of a large garlic clove (about 1/2 teaspoon)
- 30 g sweet onion (like Vidalia), peeled and roughly chopped
- 100 g (about 1/2 cup) cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 30 g blanched almonds (whole, slivered, or sliced)
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Hefty pinch of ground cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup cold water
For garnish
- 1 peach, finely diced
- 1/4 cup cucumber, finely diced
- A handful of croutons
How To
- Put all of the soup ingredients into a bowl and blend on high speed for about 1 minute until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. If it seems too thick, add some water. If it seems too thin, add a few more almonds. It can be made 1 day ahead if kept refrigerated. Blend again and adjust liquid and seasoning before serving.
- To serve, pour the soup into a bowl, garnish with diced peaches, cucumber, and add some croutons just before eating.
