Today, the sun has been shining from a clear blue sky. No clouds. No wind. It has been one of those hot, lazy summer days. Hot, lazy summer days call for cold soups. Like this raw food Spanish classic. For optimal taste, use organic, sun-ripened veggies. And for optimal refreshing effect, serve the soup chilled.
Blend a peeled cucumber, two bell peppers, 15 cherry tomatoes, two spring onions (only the white part), one garlic clove, the juice of half a lime, herbal salt and black pepper until smooth.
Brunoise (i.e. finely chop) deseeded cucumber and bell pepper. Mix with finely chopped parsley, mint and chives. Place a spoonful of the chopped veggies into a soup bowl, decorate with borage and carefully encircle with the soup. ¡Buen apetito!
