Cold Tomato Soup with Cucumber and Cantaloupe

Not a gazpacho, but a fresh-tasting tomato puree with an unusual but simple garnish. Make it with good summer tomatoes and you’ll find it hard to get enough of this. To make the dish more elaborate, add some shredded crab or minced cooked shrimp along with the cucumber.

For a light lunch, serve this with any salad; for a more substantial meal, follow it with Monkfish with Almonds and Spices or Salmon and Potato Crisps
