- 1
Combine tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, and garlic in a blender. Add squeezed bread, sherry vinegar, and cumin. Blend on high for 2 minutes until completely smooth.

With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the olive oil — this emulsifies the soup and gives it a silky texture. Season with salt and add cold water if needed to reach a pourable but substantial consistency.

Strain through a medium-mesh strainer for a very smooth texture (optional — some prefer it slightly rustic). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight — the flavors meld dramatically. Serve very cold in chilled bowls, garnished with diced cucumber, tomato, croutons, and a drizzle of olive oil.
