Advice

The addition of garlic can also be omitted. The soup should be appropriately thick; it should not be as thick as puree, but it should also not be too watery. Adjust the thickness with cold water and by adding bread crumbs. Some chopped vegetables (peppers and cucumbers) can be saved for decoration. Serve the chilled soup in glasses, soup bowls, or deep plates.
