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
