Ingredients
  

2 cups ripe tomatoes, chopped

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Croutons, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic. Toss them together until well mixed and set aside.

    Make the Broth Base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, which will enhance the flavor of the broth.

      Blend the Ingredients: Transfer the vegetable mixture into a blender. Add the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and honey (if using). Blend until smooth. You can blend in batches if your blender is smaller.

        Combine and Adjust Seasoning: Pour the blended mixture into the saucepan with the simmering broth. Stir to combine and let it heat through for another 5-10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

          Chill (Optional): For a refreshing twist, you can chill the soup in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving, which makes it a perfect summer dish.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls or cups, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and top with croutons for a nice crunch if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve the Balsamic Vinaigrette Soup warm or chilled, and enjoy the burst of flavors from the fresh ingredients!
