EAT ANYTIME, SUPER-SIMPLE REFRESHING SUMMERY GAZPACHO:
In a blender combine in two batches:
3 lbs of plum tomatoes
1 seeded cucumber cut into large chunks
1 seeded green pepper cut into quarters
3 cloves garlic
1/2 large onion chopped
1 tsp salt (I prefer kosher salt)
fresh ground pepper
3 TBL olive oil
optional:
jalapeno pepper
cilantro, parsley (flat leaf),
2 slices of bread torn into pieces (this will make the soup a bit creamier)
Some say to strain this, but I think it’s fine without straining. Chill for at least 4 hours.
