The first tomatoes are ripe in the garden, we grow sweet Tessaloniki tomatoes that can handle the summerheat. They are juicy, we fire roast them in a cast iron sauce pan in a wood fired barbecue, the intense heat bursts them and retains their flavors and juices, great for cold soup.We add some pureed sundried tomatoes in olive oil from last year, fresh persian cucumber, red bell pepper, fresh basil and chopped green onions in a cup of cold broth.

This ingenious method published by Kenji López-Alt extracts more liquid from the vegetables than just processing in the blender.

Gazpacho is a popular cold soup from Spain. It is made with simple ingredients and it’s ideal for cooling off during the summer. This version doesn’t contain garlic or sherry vinegar, but it’s still delicious and nutritious.Note:-Many Spaniards eat this gazpacho without straining it through a sieve, but personally I find it to be more enjoyable that way.#CA2025

I made my own refreshing and tart version of a gazpacho that I love.Use as ripe a tomato as you can.If you can't get very ripe tomatoes, you could also use tomato juice with no added salt.Adjust the amount of vinegar according to your preference. If you have it, using sherry vinegar will give the gazpacho an even more authentic taste. Recipe by pichans

Smoked onion soup is a light meal with a strong flavor and brown color without butter, without beef broth, without slices of cheese or fried eggs, so the broth is not fatty at all.French onion soup is a heavy meal with a mild flavor, it gets its flavor and color from carmelizing the onion in a pan with butter, and from beef broth, bread, fried egg, and lots of cheese.I make four pints of smoked onion soup broth at a time, keep the onions and the broth in pint containers in the fridge or freezer and pour one in a cast iron soup bowl with lid when ready to serve. I top it with fresh french bread, a poached egg,crumbs of smoked cheese, and a wedge of lime, ready in ten minutes at 450F degrees.

#goldenapronTomato gazpacho is cold soup serve during summer quickly made and delicious in taste .

I love gazpacho. I've been experimenting to find the perfect balance of ingredients to suit my taste. I've made them slightly sour to enjoy even when you've lost your appetite on a hot summer day.You can go ahead and change the measurements to your liking. I do recommend, however, using only a small amount of the onion and garlic. I also like to squeeze some lemon onto this soup before serving. Also keep in mind that the flavors of the soup will mellow out on the following day. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki
