It’s still too hot to cook much, so I’m on a blended soup kick.<\/p>\n

While I like traditional cooked tomato soup as much as the next person, I think this raw tomato basil soup is even better, especially when you can make it with seasonal organic tomatoes. It’s a bit like a gazpacho, but with a paired down list of ingredients. It’s also easier to make than most gazpacho recipes.<\/p>\n

\"tomatoes\"<\/p>\n

I grow a very large variety of heirloom tomatoes in my garden, so I like to mix different colored tomatoes in this soup. A combination of red and yellow tomatoes yields a soup that looks remarkably similar to a cream-based one.<\/p>\n

Basil and tomatoes get along fabulously, both in the garden and in recipes, so I grow lots of basil, too.<\/p>\n

\"basil\"<\/p>\n

Where I live (in New York), basil is an annual. If you live in a warm climate, it might be a perennial (lucky you!). Growing basil is easy to do as it’s very simple to start from seed- I have lemon basil, Thai basil, purple basil and more in my garden; for this recipe, you just need standard Italian sweet basil.<\/p>\n
