30 minutes
Cold tomato soup with basil is the freshness of the Mediterranean in one bowl. Its roots trace back to the southern regions of Europe, where tomatoes and basil are integral to the cuisine. Bright and refreshing with subtle notes of garlic and white wine, it is perfect for a summer lunch. The velvety texture of the tomatoes enhanced by icy coolness harmonizes with the aroma of fresh basil. A light acidity is complemented by delicate spiciness, while olive oil adds depth to the flavor. This soup not only quenches thirst but also offers gastronomic delight. It is served with hot French baguette, contrasting the cold freshness of the soup with the crispy warmth of bread. It is ideal for a light summer dinner and makes an exquisite addition to an elegant meal.
