Chilled Tomato Soup
If you have a sturdy food processor like my Kenwood it makes an easy job of this!
1 kg tomatoes, chopped
100g telegraph cucumber, peeled and chopped
150g watermelon, seeded, skinned and chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
50g sour dough bread
1 tsp brown sugar
a few sprigs fresh basil
ý- 1 cup water

1 tsp salt
black pepper or Tabasco
ý tsp smoked paprika
ý cup sherry vinegar*
ý cup extra virgin olive oil
fresh basil for garnish
METHOD
Place the first eight ingredients in the food processor and blitz.  Pass through a sieve (for smoother texture) and place in bowl with all the other ingredients except the oil.  Chill down well (chill the serving plates as well).
Just prior to serving add oil and check seasoning - the vinegar should shine through.  Top with freshly chopped basil.
You can garnish with additional finely chopped watermelon and basil if desired.

* The sherry vinegar we use is from Sabato ( www.sabato.co.nz) and is an aged ( eight year old grape sherry vinegar) made from Palomino grapes - delicious!
