Ingredients

• 6 medium ripe tomatoes
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup water
• 5 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 cup croutons (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and core them to remove the stems. Cut them into quarters.

Step 2

Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes, Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add up to 1/2 cup of water to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or vinegar, if needed.

Step 6

Strain the blended soup through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl for a velvety texture (optional).

Step 7

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the soup for at least 2 hours, or until it is well chilled.

Step 8

When ready to serve, finely chop the fresh basil leaves for garnish.

Step 9

Divide the chilled soup into individual bowls, top each with a sprinkle of chopped basil, and add croutons if desired.

Step 10

Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top for a finishing touch and serve immediately.
