Chilled Fresh Tomato Soup with Summer Relish

Unfortunately, regular hot house tomatoes don’t work in this recipe. Wait until summer heirloom tomatoes are in season and select the most flavorful, vine-ripened ones you can find. This is a great excuse to visit your local farmers’ market. For variety I will sometimes add up to a cup of freshly juiced cucumber, sweet red bell pepper, or carrot to the soup mixture. Also, a drizzle of fresh herb oil in place of the olive oil would be a nice touch.
