This is a very tasty soup and goes great with salad and/or a grilled cheese. I make this often when tomatoes are good and ripe. Especially good on a hot day. Enjoy

3 slices french bread crust removed

1 pound ripe tomatoes skinned

1 english cucumber chopped

1 green pepper seeded and chopped

4 medium cloves garlic peeled and chopped

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons sherry vinegar

1 teaspoon salt

garnish

1/4 cup diced tomato

1/4 cup bell pepper

1/4 cup diced white onion

1/4 cup cubed french bread

Directions:

1. Tear up bread and cover with cold water then allow to soak for 10 minutes.
2. Put the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper and garlic in a blender.
3. Pour bread and water mixture into a strainer and press out all excess moisture then add to blender and puree until smooth.
4. If soup is thick add enough water to give it the required consistency.
