Christmas Soup in a Summer Bowl
Tomato-Tarragon Soup
2 lb. Fresh Tomatoes, peeled and seeded
2 Chopped Scallions
1 C. Plain nonfat Yogurt
1/4 C. Chopped Fresh tarragon
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. Pepper
1/2 tsp. Sugar
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Pour into a pitcher and place in refrigerator along with one soup bowl per person being served.
Cucumber Dilled Soup
16oz. Plain yogurt
2 Cucumbers, peeled and seeded
1 tsp. Minced garlic
1/4 C. Chopped fresh dill
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/4tsp. Pepper
Process this soup and pour into a separate pitcher and place in refrigerator until ready for serving.
When ready to serve, remove bowls from refrigerator. Then, taking one soup bowl at a time, with a soup pitcher in each hand, pour the chilled soups simultaneously into the sides of the bowl so the soups come together in the center, creating a distinct contrasting line of color. Garnish with fresh whole chives, tarragon leaves or parsley.
Either soup can be served on its own as a soup course or main dish for summer fare.
