Ingredients

  • 3 cups tomatoes, fresh, cored, coarsely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups cucumbers, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 1 green pepper, cored, seeded and coarsely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
  • salt
  • 2 slices white bread, untrimmed fresh, cubed

Method

  • Combine all the ingredients in the container of an electric blender. Blend at high speed, pausing now and then to scrape down with a rubber spatula as necessary.
  • Pour the mixture through a large strainer placed inside a mixing bowl. Press and stir with a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
  • Taste soup for seasoning and add more salt if desired. Chill thoroughly, as much as 24 hours, before serving.
