Mint brings a fresh, Mediterranean twist to this simple cold tomato soup. Serve with fresh, crusty bread on a hot day.

Ingredients

  • 4½ lb. plum tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh mint
  • ⅜ tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • 1 tsp. red wine vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • ½ cup packed mint leaves
  • 2½ Tbsp. olive oil

Directions

  1. Core tomatoes, and halve crosswise. Working with 1 tomato at a time, squeeze tomato halves over a sieve over a bowl; press sieve gently with the back of a wooden spoon to extract remaining juice, reserving tomato halves and juice. Discard seeds.
  2. Press tomato halves through large holes of a box grater into a large bowl; discard skins. Add reserved tomato juice to bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped mint, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and vinegar.
  3. Place garlic in a food processor; process until chopped. Add 1/2 cup mint leaves and 1/8 teaspoon salt; process until pureed. With the motor running, gradually pour oil through food chute, processing until oil is fully incorporated, scraping sides as necessary. Serve with toast.
