Prepare the bread: Tear the stale bread into chunks and place in a bowl. Cover with about 1 cup (240ml) of cold water and let it soak for about 10 minutes until softened. Squeeze out excess water.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Prepare the vegetables: Core the tomatoes and roughly chop them. Peel, seed, and roughly chop the cucumber. Seed and roughly chop the green bell pepper. Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Blend the gazpacho: In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked bread, chopped tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper, garlic, and sherry vinegar. Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until emulsified. Add the 120ml of cold water and blend again until smooth. Season generously with salt to taste.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Strain the gazpacho (optional but recommended): For a smoother, more refined texture, pass the blended soup through a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl. Use a spatula or ladle to push the soup through, discarding any solids left in the sieve. This step creates a silky consistency.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Chill thoroughly: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to become thoroughly chilled. The colder, the better.
⏱️ 2 hours minimum - 6
Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning (salt and vinegar) if needed before serving. Ladle the chilled gazpacho into bowls. Garnish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, finely diced cucumber, bell pepper, or croutons, if desired.
