Ingredients
2 pounds assorted tomatoes, roughly chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 small cucumber, roughly chopped
2 medium Fresno chiles or jalapenos, stemmed and chopped
1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled
2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
1 slice white bread, crust removed, torn into pieces
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Chopped Egg and Garlic Vinaigrette
Croutons, crumbled cooked bacon, and sliced lettuce
Preparation
Sprinkle tomatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt; let sit 10 minutes. In a blender, combine tomatoes, cucumber, chiles, onion, garlic, vinegar, bread, oil, and sugar and puree until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids. Cover soup and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours (or up to 3 days). Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with a drizzle of vinaigrette and desired toppings.
