Gazpacho like we had in Barcelona

This is great!  The olive oil adds a lovely taste, but if you add too much the soup turns into an emulsion and loses the fresh vegetable taste.  Serve in glasses (chilled) and drink the gazpacho.
Ingredients
  • 1 red bell peppers, roughly chopped
  • 1 large cucumbers, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3-4 medium ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 large clove garlic (optional)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 2 slices bread, soaked in water
Instructions
  1. Place all the ingredients in a blender (depending on the size of the jar, you may have to do it in several batches). Blend until smooth.
  2. Chill for a couple of hours before serving.
  3. Serve with home made croutons, if desired.
