Steps

  • Blend tomatoes, green pepper, onion, cucumber, garlic, and basil in a food processor until smooth.
  • Pass the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl and discard the remaining pulp and skin.
  • Return the sieved liquid to the cleaned food processor and blend while slowly adding extra virgin olive oil and sherry vinegar.
  • Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, then chill in a covered container in the fridge.
  • Preheat the grill to high and place baguette slices on a baking tray.
  • Drizzle bread with olive oil, season with paprika and salt, and toast for 1-2 minutes per side until golden.
  • Ladle the cold soup into bowls containing ice cubes and top with baguette slices, chopped onions, peppers, and basil.
