Recipe: Andrew Fairlie Chilled tomato soup

It’s National Tomato Week and it’s sunny! So perfect weather for some chilled tomato soup.  This recipe is from Andrew Fairlie who made some and gave us all a taste at the launch of Scotty Brand Scottish tomatoes earlier this year. Click here to read about our visit. 

I’m not a big fan of chilled soups, or I’ve just had some bad gazpacho on holiday, this however was delicious.  I’m sure you could use it as a base for a pasta sauce as well.
