Cooking Instructions
1.
Quarter and deseed the Tomatoes (5 1/2 cups).
2.
Peel and deseed the Persian Cucumber (1).
3.
Peel and grate the Garlic (2 cloves).
4.
Roughly chop the Green Bell Pepper (1/2), Red Bell Pepper (1/2), and White Onion (1/4).
5.
Cut the crust off the Sourdough Bread (1 slice) and roughly chop the bread.
6.
Add all ingredients along with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/2 cup), Sherry Vinegar (1 Tbsp), Water (to taste), Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch), Ground Cumin (1 pinch), and Salt (1 pinch) into the blender. Turn the blender to high speed, blend until smooth and there are no chunks. The blade will create heat and increase the temperature of the soup, so do not over blend.
7.
Put the mixture along with the serving bowl into the fridge for 2 hours, or until the soup and bowl become super chilled.
8.
To serve, pour the soup into the chilled serving bowl and garnish with toppings of choice such as Cucumbers (to taste), Paprika (to taste), Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (to taste), and Croutons (to taste). To finish, drizzle with Fresh Basil (to taste).
