Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
4 yellow tomatoes, cut into chunks
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
1/3 cup chopped white onion
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
4 teaspoons minced fresh dill
4 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Combine the cucumber and tomatoes in a blender, reserving 1/4 cup of each for garnish. Add the bell pepper, onion, vinegar, 1 teaspoon each dill and parsley, 1 clove garlic and the sugar; puree until smooth. Pass through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the croutons: Heat the remaining clove garlic with the olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the bread cubes and the remaining 3 teaspoons each dill and parsley. Cook, stirring, until golden and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes. Discard the garlic.
  • Pour the soup into chilled bowls. Dice the reserved cucumber and tomatoes; sprinkle into the soup. Garnish with the croutons.

This soup is way too complicated to make. I don't think it's worth the effort.

I had some trouble finding all of the ingredients for this recipe. I ended up substituting a few things, and the soup didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
