Gazpacho

Ingredients:

2 Slices of stale bread (optional)
2 kg. (4-lb.) tomatoes, chopped
1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 green capsicum (pepper) deseeded and chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
150 ml. (5 fl.oz.) olive oil
1-2 tablespoon good wine vinegar to taste
1 teaspoon cumin seeds or powder

Procedure:

Soak the bread, if using, in a little water. Squeeze out the excess water. Using a food processor or blender, process the vegetable and garlic until well-combined, and push through a large sieve into a large bowl. Use the processor again to process the bread, oil, vinegar and cumin seeds. Add a little water to mixture and add to the bowl of soup. Add a few ice cubes, and leave to chill. You can add more water if necessary. Makes 6-8 servings.
