Nutritional values
The cold Spanish soup "Gazpacho" is extremely light and low in calories. Plenty of vegetables provide vitamins and fibre, bread provides carbohydrates and olive oil valuable unsaturated fatty acids.
If you don't have a blender, you can of course also puree vegetables and bread with a hand blender or pass them through a "brisk Lotte" (passing sieve).

Preparation steps
Remove crusts from bread and place the bread in a bowl. Season with a little salt and add 2 teaspoons olive oil and as much cold water as needed to cover the bread.
Rinse tomatoes, blanch in a pot of boiling water and let cook briefly. Drain, rinse under cold water and peel.
Halve tomatoes, cut out stems and coarsely chop the tomatoes. Place in a blender.
Halve bell peppers, remove seeds, rinse and cut into small dice. Set about 1 tablespoon aside in a small bowl and add the rest to the tomatoes.
Peel the onion, cut into small dice and add up to 2 tablespoons (to taste) to the tomato mixture, reserving the rest. Peel the garlic, chop finely and also add to tomato mixture.
Peel cucumber, halve lengthwise and finely chop. Set aside 2 tablespoons diced cucumber. Add the rest to the tomato mixture along with the mineral water. Puree on the highest speed until smooth.
Add bread with the soaking liquid and vinegar and puree again briefly. Pass through a fine sieve into a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Dilute to taste with a little more mineral water – the gazpacho should be creamy and not too thick. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour (preferably longer). Cover the reserved diced vegetables with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Season the chilled gazpacho again with salt, pepper and vinegar (if desired). Stir once and transfer the soup to bowls or glasses. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil into the center of each serving, garnish with the reserved cucumber, bell peppers and onion and serve immediately.
