This cousin to the well-known gazpacho is thicker and makes for a fresh, light yet satisfying summer meal —Ala Lemon

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 100 grams / 3.5 oz. slightly stale bread (that’s about 2 slices)
  • 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 green pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped (optional)
  • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 5 tablespoons tbsp extra virgin olive oil + extra for drizzling
  • 2-3 tablespoons vinegar, ideally Xeres
  • 100 milliliters water (a little less than ½ cup)
  • To serve: 1 finely chopped hard-boiled egg, 50g/ 2-3 slices finely chopped Serrano ham
Directions
  1. Soak the bread in a shallow dish of water for 30 seconds on each side.
  2. In a blender, blitz together the soaked bread, tomatoes, green pepper, garlic and olive oil.
  3. Add the cider vinegar, water and a large pinch of salt, then mix again until smooth. If you find your soup too thick, add a little more water.
  4. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  5. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate the soup for at least 1 hour.
  6. Before serving, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and top with the egg and ham.
