Classic Andalusian Cold & Creamy Tomato Soup topped with Hard-Boiled Egg and Serrano Ham

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 650g ripe tomatoes cored and coarsely chopped
  • 110g stale or lightly toasted bread, crust discarded, inside torn or chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 75ml extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 1 garlic clove crushed and peeled

Method

Instructions:

  • In a blender, combine the tomatoes, bread, olive oil, garlic, sherry vinegar, salt, pepper, and cold water. Blend until smooth.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  • Cover and refrigerate the soup for at least 2 hours to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
