Directions

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, slices of bread, red onion and garlic.

2. Add olive oil, cooked grape juice (red wine vinegar), ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender.

3. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy which should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar if needed.
5. If the gazpacho is too thick, you can thin it out with a little water until you reach your desired consistency.

6. Transfer your gazpacho to a large bowl or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavours to meld.

7. Serve the gazpacho chilled, garnished with diced cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, croutons, and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

Recipe Note

On a hot day, you could add ice cubes to the soup as you serve which is how we first experienced it. Use a red or yellow capsicum instead of green if you prefer.
