I just returned from Gran Canaria, where i ate gallons of this stuff. There is a secret ingredient and some special serving twists that make this my new favorite twist on the old fave Gazpacho!
tomatoes
onion…red or white
day old bread
cucumber
olive oil
light, fruity vinager
water
salt and pepper
This recipe is to taste. Cut up tomatoes, onion,cucumber and place in blender with some cubed day old bread soaked in olive oil… if you like. Add some water, salt, pepper, quite a bit of olive oil and more vinegar than you would think. blend until totally smooth and creamy.
chill for an hour. garlic can be added if you like, blended in right before serving so it doesn’t overpower soup.
Serve in bowls. Serve each person a plate filled with tiny chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and crispy croutons fried in olive oil. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and some fresh ground sea salt and pepper. This is heaven in hot weather. The bread can be left out of the blended part , but the croutons are essential to the finished product! Have guests dump entire plate of goodies into soup, season, and enjoy….mmmmmmm.
