Here’s the perfect recipe to make when you’ve got a bounty of tomatoes and cucumbers ready to pick in your garden. Plan to invite over guests when you make it because this zingy, chilled soup makes a fuss-free first course dish that’s ideal for summer entertaining. Just give the ingredients a whirl in your food processor and chill until you’re ready to serve. The flavor of the base intensifies in the fridge, so we recommend to whip-it-up the day before you plan to eat it. To make it vegetarian, omit the shrimp and replace it with a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt.
