Chilled Tomato Soup

Place a shallow crosswise cut in the tomatoes. Blanch in boiling water, remove, and rinse under cold water. Peel, halve, and remove the seeds. Peel and finely dice the shallots and garlic.

Puree the tomatoes, onions, and garlic in a blender. Add the vegetable broth, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Rinse and dry the basil and parsley. Finely chop, reserving some whole leaves of the basil.
