A delicious and refreshing way to enjoy fresh garden tomatoes, this soup is great for hot days and pairs perfectly with good bread (we recommend Ikarian-Style Sourdough!). You can also enjoy this hot if you prefer.

Recipe adapted from 1st edition of An Apple a Day, one of the most popular and enduring cookbooks among the Adventists of Loma Linda, CA. The original edition (and the updated editions following) was put together by many of the wives of the doctors of the Loma Linda University School of Medicine. Adapted by Naomi Imatome-Yun.
