Ingredients

• 1000 grams Ripe tomatoes
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 None Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the tomatoes. Wash them carefully, remove the green tops, and roughly chop them into chunks.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large blender or food processor, add the chopped tomatoes, garlic cloves, basil leaves, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Blend the mixture until completely smooth, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Place a large bowl in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the next steps.

Step 6

Set up a large piece of muslin cloth or cheesecloth over a clean sieve and position it over a large bowl. Slowly pour the tomato mixture into the cloth, ensuring it doesn’t overflow.

Step 7

Tie up the corners of the muslin cloth to create a pouch. Secure it tightly with kitchen twine or an elastic band and suspend it over the bowl. Allow the liquid to drip through naturally for about 4-6 hours, or overnight if possible, until the clear consommé has collected in the bowl. Resist the urge to press the pouch, as this may cloud the liquid.

Step 8

Once the dripping has stopped, remove the muslin pouch carefully and discard the solids.

Step 9

Add the lemon juice and a few ice cubes to the consommé to chill and brighten its flavor.

Step 10

Serve the tomato consommé in chilled bowls or glasses, garnished with a fresh basil leaf if desired. Enjoy this refreshing, clear soup as an elegant starter or light summer dish.
