You need a blender.

A swirl of extra-virgin olive oil
salt
black pepper
croutons
Thinly-sliced basil leaves
Directions
Combine tomatoes, cucumbers, red pepper slices, garlic, vinegar and oil in a blender.
Blend until barely chunky.
Taste and season with salt, black pepper, and more vinegar if needed.
Quickly hit it with the blender again (no more than 4 seconds)
Cover and refrigerate until chilled (at least 3 or 4 hours).
To serve, divide soup among bowls, then
Drizzle a little olive oil on top, then
Put down four thinly-sliced, fresh basil leaves in a nice pattern, then
Put down 3 or 4 fresh, crunchy croutons in a nice pattern, then
Enjoy!
