Ingredients

Tomatoes - 2 lbs
Onion - ½ head
Green peppercorns - ½ piece
Breadcrumbs - 8.8 oz

Olive Oil - 6 fl oz
Goat cheese - 3.5 oz
Champagne Vinegar - 2 tablespoons

Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the tomatoes and chop them. Chop the onion, cucumber, and basil as well. Remove the seeds from the pepper and chop it too. Pit the olives and chop them finely. Then blend the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, pepper, breadcrumbs, olive oil, and vinegar in parts using a blender. Transfer everything to a bowl and, if the mixture is too thick, add cold water: usually, this is not necessary because the tomatoes provide plenty of juice. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Step 2

Before serving: shape the fresh goat cheese into balls and roll them in breadcrumbs. Season the soup with salt to taste, stir, sprinkle with basil, and serve with the cheese balls.
