30 minutes
Cold soup made from Caucasian tomatoes is a refreshing dish of Georgian cuisine that embodies the spirit of summer freshness and lightness. Its roots go back to the traditions of the Caucasus, where vegetable soups are valued for their naturalness and richness of flavors. Bright red tomatoes, fresh cucumber, and celery create a rich texture, while adjika and lemon juice add spiciness and acidity. The slight bitterness of watercress harmoniously complements the taste, and a drop of olive oil adds smoothness. This soup is perfect for a hot day, quenching thirst and providing vitality. It can be served as a standalone dish or accompanied by traditional Georgian bread. Simple to prepare but surprises with its rich flavor nuances, making it indispensable in summer menus.
