On the days when even the kettle feels like too much, this cold soup asks almost nothing of you and gives everything back.

Blend, chill, and serve with a swirl of olive oil. The garlic mellows dramatically in the fridge.

Made this on a Tuesday and my whole family went quiet at the table. The highest compliment.

Really lovely. I added a pinch of chili flakes for heat and it worked beautifully.

This tasted like something from a little neighborhood trattoria. Simple, cozy, and very repeatable.
