BLENDED RAW TOMATO-BASIL SOUP

While I like traditional cooked tomato soup as much as the next person, I think this raw tomato soup is even better, especially when you make it with seasonal organic tomatoes. It’s a bit like gazpacho, but with a pared-down list of ingredients.

I grow a very large variety of heirloom tomatoes in my garden, so I like to mix them in a range of colors in this soup. A combination of red and yellow tomatoes yields a soup that looks remarkably similar to a cream-based one. Basil and tomatoes get along fabulously, both in the garden and in recipes, so I grow lots of basil, too.

This makes a nice light lunch with a fried egg on top.

Serves 2

4 medium tomatoes, preferably heirloom varieties in season, cored and quartered

4 olive oil–packed sun-dried tomatoes (optional)

1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil

Handful of fresh basil leaves, plus more (optional) for garnish

1/4 tsp fine sea salt, or to taste

Diced avocado for garnish (optional)

Pinch of smoked paprika for garnish (optional)
