Ingredients

Soup

• 6 heirloom tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Here’s how to make it:

1. Boil water in a 6-quart pot. Blanch the tomatoes by placing them in boiling water for 3-5 seconds. With a slotted spoon, remove the tomatoes and place them in ice water to cool for 30 seconds. Then peel the skins and remove the seeds.
2. Place the tomatoes, sherry vinegar, olive oil and lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
3. For succotash, heat the olive oil on medium heat in a frying pan. Add onions and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic cloves to the onions. Heat for another 1 minute.
4. Add green peas, fava beans and corn kernels to the frying pan and mix together with the garlic and onions. Heat for 2-3 minutes or until soft. Add lemon juice.
