Ingredients
  

2 cups ripe tomatoes, diced

1 medium red onion, finely chopped

1 cucumber, peeled and diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, peeled and diced cucumber, and diced red bell pepper. Stir the mixture well to combine and set aside for later.

    Make the Balsamic Mixture: In a separate bowl, add the balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, chopped basil, and chopped oregano. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients thoroughly, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to suit your taste.

      Combine and Marinate: Pour the balsamic mixture over the prepared vegetables in the mixing bowl. Gently toss to ensure all the vegetables are coated in the mixture. Allow the vegetables to marinate for about 15 to 20 minutes; this step helps the flavors meld beautifully.

        Blend the Soup: After marination, transfer the vegetable mixture into a blender or food processor. Add the vegetable broth to the mixture. Blend until smooth, or pulse a few times for a slightly chunky texture, depending on your preference.

          Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner soup, gradually add a bit more vegetable broth to achieve your desired consistency. Blend again briefly to incorporate any additional broth.

            Chill the Soup: Pour the soup into an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour, or until it is thoroughly chilled. This soup is best served cold.

              Serve and Garnish: Once chilled, ladle the Balsamic Bliss Soup into individual bowls. Drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil for added richness, and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.

                Enjoy: This refreshing soup makes for a delightful starter or a light main course. Savor the harmonious balance of flavors in every spoonful!
