Ingredients
- 8 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium baguette
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- Splash red wine vinegar extra to taste
- pinch of salt
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- Sliced serrano ham or prosciutto
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on the stove. Prepare a large bowl of water and lots of ice, and set it beside the stove. Cut a cross shape into the bottom of each tomato. When the water is boiling, add the tomatoes for 60 seconds, then immediately transfer them to the ice bath. Once cooled, the skin will peel right off the tomatoes.
- Cut out and discard the cores of the tomatoes and add the flesh to your blender. Blend at high speed for about 30 seconds, or until the tomatoes are broken down.
- Remove some of the inside of the baguette and add to the blended tomatoes. The baguette should give you about 2 to 3 cups of bread, and you can experiment with how much you add, as this is how you change the soup's creaminess. I used about 2 cups of the bread. Let the bread soak in the tomato juice for about 5 minutes.
- Add the splash of vinegar, salt, and garlic, and blend until the soup is smooth and silky.
- If your blender has it, open the small hole at the top. Continue running the blender on a moderate speed, and slowly add the olive oil. If your blender doesn't have the hole, pause the blender, carefully add a small amount of oil, run the blender to incorporate the oil, and repeat with the rest of the oil.
- Add 1 hard-boiled egg and blend until incorporated. Taste and adjust levels of salt, vinegar, garlic, and bread if needed. Transfer soup to an airtight container and chill for at least 2 hours, but best overnight.
- Serve in small bowls with a diced hard-boiled egg and sliced ham.
