Here's something to do with that last bit of baguette that's too hard to eat, and the last of this summer's tomato crop. The bread gives gazpacho, which has its origins in Andalusia long before the tomato arrived in Europe (it was made simply with stale bread, water, vinegar, garlic and olive oil), its wonderful texture. Keep a pitcher on hand in the refrigerator for refreshing snacks and quick, healthy lunches.

Steps:
- Place the bread in a bowl and sprinkle with enough water to soften it. Let sit 5 minutes, until soft enough to squeeze, and squeeze out the water.
- Combine the bread, tomatoes, garlic, onion. olive oil, vinegar, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings. Pour into a bowl or pitcher, thin out as desired with water, cover and chill for several hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the garnishes, if using. Place them in small bowls on a platter. Serve the soup in glasses or bowls and pass the tray of garnishes.
