Have a wonderful day, Liz ... and many more to come!

Here's a recipe for Gazpacho.

2 slices bread (crusts removed)
4 large ripe tomatoes ... or the small ones you can hold of.

2 small green peppers
1/2 cucumber
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
70 ml. olive oil
1-2 teaspoons salt
5 table spoons winegar (white)
1/4 - 1/2 liter of water

Put the bread to soak in water
Peel the tomatoes (dip them in boiling water for 10 seconds). Cut them into chunks and put them into the blender with the seeded peppers, cucumber and onion, garlic, all cut in pieces. whirl until pureed and strain into a large bowl.
Squeese the water from the bread and puree in the blender, then add the salt and winegar. With th emotor running add the oil in a slow stream until coorporated into the bread. Ladle some of the tomato back into the processor, then mix with the bowl of tomato puree. Stir in the water and adjust the seasoning.

Chill until serving time!

Garnish with finely chopped, tomatoes, onions, peppers, cucumbers, hardboiled eggs and croutons. (use the yummy Italian ones!)
