Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces white bread, soaked in water for a few minutes to soften
  • 2 28 oz cans whole peeled tomatoes, with juice, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 english (seedless) cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1 serrano or jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1/4 red onion, diced

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups cilantro leaves, loosely packed

Method
 

  1. In a blender, blend together tomatoes (and their juice) and bread.
  2. Add all vegetables and blend. You may need to blend half and half with the tomato mixture if you're blender is not large enough.
  3. Add red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper and blend.
  4. Add cilantro (you can start with half the amount and do it to taste if you wish) and blend.
  5. Place soup in the refrigerator until chilled. Keep for up to 3 days.
