Blender Gazpacho

Cold soups can be a little strange - my mother makes a good cucumber one and i've also had melon soup before, personally though i like to make gazpacho. Its really easy - especially the way i make it and it gets better over a couple of days. I don't really know where i got this recipe, i probably had it written down at some point or might have seen it on tv - its probably no where near the original or traditional, but i like it, and that's what counts!

Ingredients

A couple tomatoes
Two cucumbers
Quarter of red onion
Jalapeno
Three slices of bread
Can of tomatoes (whole)
Balsamic vinegar
Olive Oil
Salt, Pepper and Chili Flakes

I peeled and seeded the cucumbers and cut them into smaller pieces. I also chopped up the tomato, red onions and jalapenos. The bread i had was pretty moist so i toasted it for better texture.


In the blender i put in the cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and jalapeno, then added the can of tomatoes with the sauce, and simply blended it.


Once i had that blended i added the bread, olive oil, seasoning and most importantly the balsamic. The vinegar really adds to this dish so don't skip it.
