This is
the classic chilled soup, originating from
Spain. There are many variants of this soup but this is the simplest most 'peasant' variation, going back to the soup's roots, in effect.
Ingredients:
2 slices day old
Breads, with crusts removed
4 large ripe tomatoes,
blanched, peeled and seeded
2 small green bell peppers, de-seeded and chopped
1 small cucumber, chopped
1 small onion chopped
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
6 tbsp sherry vinegar
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt, black pepper and lemon juice, to season
Method:
Soak the bread in just enough water to cover. Meanwhile add the tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic and cucumber to a blender and blitz to a smooth purée (add a little water and process in small batches, if necessary).
Squeeze a little of the excess water from the bread then add to the blender along with the sherry vinegar and oil. Render to a smooth paste (adding as much extra water as necessary). Tip the soup into a bowl and season with salt, lemon juice and black pepper, as necessary.
Place the soup in a bowl and chill well. Serve garnished with a swirl of olive oil and chopped tomatoes, red bell pepper, cucumber, onion and a few croutons.
