GAZPACHO ANDALUZ (SPANISH COLD TOMATO SOUP) RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Prepare an ice bath. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, cut a small "X" in the bottom of each tomato, this will help to loosen the skin while blanching. When the water boils , turn off heat, and submerge the tomatoes in the water, about 1 minute.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to the ice bath.
- Once cool to the touch, remove the tomato skins, starting at the "X" for easy peeling. Discard skins.
- Cut tomatoes in half and squeeze seeds into a small bowl. Discard seeds. Coarsely chop the tomatoes. Set aside.
- Soak the bread in a few tablespoons of water for 1 minute. Gently squeeze dry.
- Place the tomatoes, bread, cucumbers, onion, garlic, and pepper in a blender . Blend, in batches if necessary, until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the vinegar and pulse until it is completely incorporated.
- Some people prefer their gazpacho slightly chunky-it's a matter of personal taste. For a smoother texture, strain the gazpacho and discard the solids.
- Drizzle the oil into the blender with the motor running until completely incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into a large non-metallic bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and more vinegar, if desired. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Garnish each serving with the diced cucumber, bell pepper, apple, croutons, and egg, if desired.

COLD TOMATO SOUP
The most beautiful tomatoes may not always be the best ones. Often, it's the gnarly, misshapen, split-topped tomatoes that are the sweetest. You can also seek out the nearly overripe must-sell-today tomatoes, which can sometimes be found discounted at farmers markets. Those are perfect for this kind of chilled soup, a no-cook delight that is best made at the end of summer when tomatoes are at their best. Add toast and avocado for a more substantial meal.

Steps:
- Put tomatoes and garlic in a non-reactive bowl and sprinkle with salt. Add 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the black pepper and cayenne. Mix well and leave to macerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour.
- Pulse tomatoes in a food processor or blender until just crushed. Transfer to a strainer or food mill to remove skins and seeds, pressing well to obtain all the juices. You should have about 5 cups. Add enough ice water to yield 6 cups. Stir well, taste and adjust seasoning. Chill on a bowl of ice for 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to several hours.
- Make the pepper relish about 30 minutes before serving: Put diced bell peppers and onions in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar, mix well and set aside.
- To serve, rub each toast lightly with garlic. Top toasts with thick slices of avocado and season with salt and pepper. Place an avocado toast in each bowl and ladle in about 1 cup of chilled soup per serving. Garnish with a generous spoonful of pepper relish and a sprinkling of parsley and chives.
