Ingredients

• 6 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 large cucumber
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 0.5 medium white onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 slices day-old bread
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your vegetables: core and roughly chop the tomatoes, peel and chop the cucumber, seed and chop the red bell pepper, and peel and dice the onion.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and cut the day-old bread into small pieces.

Step 3

In a high-powered blender, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and bread.

Step 4

Add the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, cold water, salt, and black pepper to the blender.

Step 5

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. If the consistency is too thick, add additional cold water a little at a time until your desired texture is achieved.

Step 6

Taste the gazpacho and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or vinegar as needed.

Step 7

For an ultra-smooth texture, pass the blended soup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing out any solids.

Step 8

Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until cold.

Step 9

When ready to serve, stir well and add ice cubes to each bowl for an extra-refreshing touch, if desired.

Step 10

Serve in bowls or glasses, and optionally garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, finely diced vegetables, or fresh herbs.
