2 lb ripe tomatoes
1 cucumber
1 green bell pepper
2 garlic cloves
2 oz day-old bread
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 cup water
1 tsp salt

How to cook it

Tear the day-old bread into pieces, cover with a little water, and let it soak for 10 minutes until soft, then squeeze out the excess water.
Roughly chop the tomatoes, the cucumber, the green pepper, and the garlic.
Combine the vegetables, the soaked bread, the olive oil, the sherry vinegar, and the salt in a blender and blend until completely smooth.
Thin the soup with the water, blending again, until it reaches a pourable, drinkable consistency, then taste and adjust the salt and vinegar.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and serve ice cold in bowls or glasses, the way it is drunk all summer long in Andalucia.
