- 6 very ripe tomatoes
- 2 slices slightly stale bread
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic

- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt

To Garnish
- 1 small cucumber sliced

Instructions
- Make a small X incision on the bottom of each tomato and drop them in a bowl with boiling water. Leave them there for 3 minutes. Then carefully remove tomatoes from the water and peel off the skin.
- At the same time place a slightly stale bread in a bowl with about ½ cup of cold water and let it sit for 10-20 minutes until bread softens.
- Squeeze as much water as possible out of the bread and tear it into 1 inch pieces.
- Roughly chop the tomatoes, cucumber, remove the seeds from red bell pepper and chop it as well.
- Place tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, bread, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a blender and process until smooth and creamy but still with some texture.
- Adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Chill Gazpacho in a refrigerator for 30 minutes or serve at room temperature topped with chopped tomatoes, cucumber, chives and a drizzle of olive oil.
