Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is essential for the best flavor in your soup. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Use a good quality cucumber. A crisp, fresh cucumber will add a lot to the soup. Avoid cucumbers that are wilted or have blemishes.
- Chill the soup thoroughly before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the soup will be more refreshing.
- Add some fresh herbs or spices to the soup for extra flavor. Dill, basil, and mint are all good choices.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream. This will add a creamy richness to the soup.
