About

Nothing faster and quite good, especially when made with high-quality vegetables. Be sure to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.

Ingredients

1 medium cucumber, peeled
4 tomatoes (about 1½ pounds), cut into chunks

Soup
Vegan
Gluten-free

Method

Cut the cucumber lengthwise in half and scrape out the seeds.
Combine the cucumber, tomatoes, red pepper, onion, and salt and pepper to taste in the container of a blender. Blend, but don’t make it too smooth; the soup is better with a coarser texture.
Add more salt, if necessary, and the Tabasco, olive oil, and vinegar. Serve, or cover and refrigerate f
