Cold tomato soup is a refreshing and nutritious dish rooted in ancient Russian traditions of chilled summer soups. Its flavor is rich with sweet and sour notes of ripe tomatoes, enhanced by sun-dried tomatoes and lemon. The creamy texture is achieved through tahini, while fresh aroma comes from basil and celery. The heat from cayenne pepper and garlic adds zest, while cucumbers provide a crunchy freshness. This soup is perfect for a hot summer day when you want something light yet flavorful. It not only cools but also satisfies with a balanced mix of vegetables and spices. Great as a standalone dish or as an appetizer before the main meal.
