Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium Cucumber, peeled, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 Roasted Red Pepper (from a jar of roasted red peppers in olive oil)
  • 3 slices Bread, torn into pieces (roughly 3 ounces)(baguette or sourdough are great, and bread that is a couple days old is ideal)
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
  • pinch Crushed Red Pepper, to taste
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper

For serving (any of these are great):

Instructions

  • Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, bread, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and crushed red pepper in a blender. Blend until nearly smooth. Add water if the soup seems thick. Taste and add salt and pepper, as desired.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with any of the recommendations above or set all of them out so that people can customize their bowl!
