Printable Version

Serves 2

 

Ingredients

  • 110g Red bell pepper
  • 110g Yellow bell pepper
  • 160g Cucumber
  • 260g Ripe tomatoes (vine or other)
  • 50g Red onion
  • 45g Cider vinegar
  • 60g Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Bread to serve on the side

Instructions

  • First wash all the salad and vegetables and pat dry
  • Peel the red onion and roughly chop, place in a jug or deep bowl
  • Core and de-seed the bell peppers and cut them into small pieces (pieces small enough to be blended)
  • Add the peppers to the onions 
  • Now take the tomatoes and the cucumbers and roughly chop them seeds and all
  • Once all the ingredients are chopped add to the mix the vinegar and olive oil
  • Next take a stick blender and pulse the motor whilst pushing down on the vegetables
  • You need to repeat this for a couple minutes or until there is enough liquid created for the blades to submerse and create a rough pulp
  • The pulp will be nice and thick this is exactly how you want it
  • You don't want pieces of vegetable but you do want to be able to see the vegetables speckling the soup.
  • Once the correct consistency is achieved season with salt and black pepper
  • to serve spoon into a dish and top with a few torn pieces of fresh bread
  • Drizzle with olive oil and finish with a grind of black pepper
