Method
 

Preparation
  1. Roughly chop the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic, then combine all these ingredients in a large bowl with the stale bread, olive oil, red wine vinegar, cold water, salt, and pepper.
  2. Allow the mixture to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for a few hours, to let the flavors meld.
  3. Transfer the marinated vegetable mixture to a blender and process until completely smooth, then strain the gazpacho through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any solids.

Notes

For an even smoother gazpacho, you can peel the tomatoes before blending. Serve chilled with a drizzle of olive oil and croutons!
