Instructions
- Heat 1 TB olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and begins to shimmer, sauté shallot and garlic slices for 1-2 minutes, until golden. Remove shallot and garlic from pan, and set aside.
- If using campari or cherry small tomatoes, cut them all in half. If using larger tomatoes, core them and cut into quarters.
- Add 1 more TB olive oil to the pan. Set tomatoes into the hot pan, and don't touch them for about 3 minutes, when the tomatoes have dark char marks. Toss and continue to blister the tomatoes for about 1 more minute. Remove tomatoes from the pan.
- Add shallots, garlic, tomatoes, cucumbers, and anchovies to a blender basin. Remove the plastic lid insert from the blender lid to allow steam to escape, and cover with a towel. Blend until smooth. (Optionally, add all ingredients to a pot and use an immersion blender.)
- Add vinegar to taste. (The amount needed will depend on the potency of your vinegar and your taste preferences.)
- Next, add about ¾ of the basil leaves and the cream, and blend until smooth. Taste, and add salt if needed.
- Chill soup in the fridge for at least an hour before serving, and use within 3-4 days. Just before serving, roughly chop the remaining basil.
- Serve soup chilled in 4 small bowls, or 2 large bowls, and top with basil.
- Leftovers: Store leftovers in the fridge and use within 3-4 days.
Notes
- This recipe makes 4 small, appetizer-size soup portions, or two heaping bowls of soup.
