Tomato Gazpacho

OK! It’s the height of tomato season. This ancient peasant soup is a must before the harvest is over. Prepare the soup in the morning and refrigerate in a covered glass bowl for the day. It takes about 20 minutes to assemble Gazpacho.
This style of gazpacho probably has its roots in Spain and Portugal. I prefer a recipe that doesn’t use tomato juice. Commercial tomato juice is too salty.
I refer to my recipe as “Tomato Gazpacho” since the origins of this soup seem to be white gazpacho made with stale bread. Leftover (or stale) bread is still used in many tomato gazpacho recipes, but we’ll serve a fresh baguette with this soup… just because we can.
