Step-by-Step Instructions
- Boil a pot of water, score the bottoms of the vine tomatoes with a small 'X', and immerse them in boiling water for 30 seconds until the skins start to peel. Transfer them to an ice water bath, then peel the skins off.
- Dice the peeled tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, shallot, and garlic into small, uniform pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine diced vegetables, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Transfer the vegetable mixture into a blender and blend until silky smooth, adding water or lemon juice for the desired texture if needed.
- Pour the blended soup into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Ladle the chilled Tomato Gazpacho into bowls and garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes
