Cold Spicy Tomato and Tomatillo Soup

Assorted vegetables and seasonings arrangement

This recipe is from “The Lost Kitchen” Cookbook. The restaurant is in Freedom, ME and it is on my list of places to go. I have heard it is difficult to get a reservation but worth the wait. The soup is a little spicy and so easy to make, everything goes into the blender. It is that simple!


Serves: 6
Makes: 5 cups
Prep Time: 10-15 minutes plus at least 1 hour of chill time


2 pounds tomatoes, quartered
1 pound tomatillos, husks removed
2 garlic cloves
4 sprigs of cilantro
1 jalapeño, stem removed
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, unseasoned
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste


  1. In a blender, puree tomatoes, tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, jalapeño, olive oil and rice wine vinegar until really smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Strain with a fine-mesh sieve.
  3.  Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

I store it in a quart mason jar in the refrigerator.
