MAKES3 cups
Ingredients
30ripe red cherry tomatoes
1Granny Smith apple, peeled and cored, sliced and chopped
4 teaspoonsprepared horseradish
1garlic clove
3 tablespoonsextra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoonsapple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoonsea salt plus more to taste if necessary
2 tablespoonscrème fraîche
1 teaspoonprepared horseradish
2 teaspoonsfresh dill, snipped
Instructions
Halve cherry tomatoes. Place tomatoes and chopped apple into bowl of a food processor. Add remaining soup ingredients, and pulse until well combined. Taste for salt, adding more if necessary. Pulse again.
Strain mixture through a sieve into a quart Pyrex measure or glass bowl. Press down on solids with a spatula to get the most out of the seeds and pulp. Continue to press on solids until quite dry and you have 3 cups of liquid. Discard solids. Cover strained soup with plastic wrap and chill for at least three hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, make your horseradish-dill-crème fraîche by combining ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Remove soup from refrigerator, stir and taste, adjusting seasonings if necessary (salt, lime).
Serve soup in small bowls and top with a dollop of the seasoned crème fraîche. Swirl in crème fraîche using a chopstick or spoon. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
