Gazpatcho Summer Cold Soup3 large cloves garlic
1/2 (about 4 inches) medium cucumber
1/2 large green pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 or a 4-inch piece of baguette, soaked in water slice white bread
4 big, very ripe, red about 3 inches in diameter tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons saltCut garlic, cucumber and green pepper and liquefy in a blender.Add oil and vinegar to get a homogenous, smooth mix.Squeeze bread to get some water out, add to blender and blend well.Drop the tomatoes in boiling water until their skins pop (should be less than a minute) and peel.Add tomatoes cut in quarters, a little at a time, blending after each addition. Add salt. Don`t put on high speed for tomatoes if you want a coarser texture.Taste. It should be doubly strong in garlic, salt, and vinegar, because it will be diluted when you add ice cubes to the bowls for serving. If it`s not strong enough, pour a little out and add garlic, vinegar and oil to taste.Serve cold.
