Cold soup for hot nights

As summer threatens to wind down, my tomato plants are threatening to fall over, with red, green, yellow, orange, a whole kaleidoscope of fat fruit, just on the brink of breaking the limb from which it hangs.While the cherry tomatoes are easy, pop them in the mouth and they never get big enough to topple a plant, everything else just gets bigger and bigger and bigger, which means, what are you going to do with all those tomatoes, all those tomatoes on our vines?Turn them into a cold soup, perfect for a hot summer night, of course!I grew up eating gazpacho, the cold Spanish tomato soup, and indeed, when I went looking for recipes, one of my mom’s was first to pop up, with Tabasco, tomato juice, parsley and dill, scallions and honey.While nostalgia may help make the decision of what to make, it doesn’t always dictate how to make it.
