Instructions: Sorry, no measurements, but propotions dont really matter for this soup.

Tomatoes - fresh and very ripe. Round ones are juicier than plum tomatoes.

I like the kind that are sold cheaply as overripe. Remove seeds.

Red bell peppers

Mild-flavored onions - vidalia, scallions, red, Bermuda

Optional - green peppers, cucumbers, garlic

Herbs - fresh basil, Italian flat-leaf parsley

Seasonings - salt, pepper or oil & vinegar salad dressing

Optional - lime or lemon juice, hot pepper flakes or hot sauce

Chop into appropriate sizes. Mix all together in a blender. Chill to blend flavors & serve. Croutons, ice cubes, diced avocados, etc., can be used as a garnish.

Can be mixed with plain yoghurt, nonfat, low-fat or regular for a different and tasty soup. A dollop of yoghurt could be used as a garnish.
