I ate wayyyyy tooooo much last 2 days - Thanx to the Navarathri festivities! Hey, thanks a bunch for all your warm and thoughtful wishes, hope you had a grand time too! Whenever we eat lots, the next couple of days is followed with mellowed down food and mostly consists of Soup in my home..I like to make it a one pot meal. This time wanted to try something different and tried Gazpacho Soup from my cookbook. It is of spanish origin which is made of mainly bread,olive oil and garlic and is served cold. But additons are welcome indeed ; and I did make additions by way of tomatoes and served the soup warm - not cold! That along with some Zucchinni Patties made a wonderful dinner :) It is another one of those v simple meals which takes hardly any effort....here goes .
Soak the bread in some water for 5 min. Place the tomatoes in a bowl of boiling water. Leave it for about 15-20 min,then peel and chop the flesh.
Peel the cucumber, scoop out the seeds and chop the flesh.Place the bread,tomatoes,cucumber,bell pepper,chilly,garlic,lemon juice,olive oil in a food processor with about 2 cups of water and blend till combined but still chunky ( not smooth )
