PHILIPPE BERTINEAU'S CHILLED HEIRLOOM TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add the vegetables (but not the tomatoes). Cover and sweat for 10 minutes, until soft but not brown. Add the bouquets garnis and tomatoes to 3 cups water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened but not overcooked, then season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the mixture to a large heatproof bowl and cool in a container of ice and water. (This will allow the tomatoes to retain their color.)
• Remove the bouquets garnis and, in batches, puree the mixture in a blender. Pass through a food mill into a large bowl and season to taste with salt, white pepper, Tabasco and celery salt. Refrigerate until cold (but not freezing) to taste the full flavor of the tomatoes.
• Ladle the cold tomato soup into soup bowls and place a spoonful of the guacamole in the center and then garnish with a basil flower.

• microgreens
• Microgreens are the plant's first true leaves and are exceptionally tender. The young seedlings are harvested when less than fourteen days old, often with the stems attached. The tiny leaves are exact miniatures of how they would look if left to mature. They are often very intense in flavor. Common varieties include arugula, basil, beet, collard, mustard, daikon, chard, and celery. Microgreens are available at upscale and natural grocery stores such as Whole Foods and many farmer's markets.
