--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3      cups          plain yogurt
  3      medium        ripe red tomatoes -- peeled
                       seeded and chopped
  2                    garlic cloves -- peeled
                       ends removed -- minced
  1      tablespoon    extra-virgin olive oil
  3      tablespoons   chopped fresh dill
  1 1/4  cups          cold milk

  6      small         dill sprigs

Line a strainer with 2 to 3 coffee filters or cheesecloth. Set over a bowl
and place the yogurt in the strainer. Refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the
whey (liquid) to drip from the yogurt. Discard the liquid and place the
yogurt in a medium bowl. Add the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, dill and
milk. Combine well. In a blender, puree the mixture in batches, if
necessary, until smooth. Pour into a bowl, add the vinegar and season to
taste with salt and pepper. Chill for at least 1 hour. At serving time,
ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with dill sprigs. Makes 6 servings
(about 6 cups).
