I've spent the summer away from home and my terrace plants have gone wild! See?, I installed a dripping-water automatic system and take a look at the size of my plants now!!! I feel like Gulliver in one of his trips :D.
From left to right: Bay tree, Basil bush in flower, Fig tree and some lavender back there. If you don't find fresh basil you can perfectly do it without it.
Ingredients for 4 servings: For the gazpacho soup: 2 ripe tomatoe kilos, 50 grs of the yesterday's bread white part, half a cucumber, half a red pepper, half a green pepper, 1 garlic, 2 green onions (only the white part), 8 fresh basil leaves, 5 table spoons of sherry vinegar, 12 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 -2 glasses of fresh water, salt and black ground pepper.
Keep the half of the veggies you discarded aside and cut in very small pieces. Reserve.
- Put the bread inside a small bowl and cover with fresh water.
- Peel the tomatoes and take their seeds away. Cut and place inside a big bowl.
- Cut the cucumber, peppers, onions and garlic in small pieces and place in the same big bowl.
- Squeeze the bread and place in the bowl, add the water, 4 basil leaves, the olive oil and the vinegar.
- Blend with a food processor until you get an homogenous texture. Use a fine colander to strain and get a fine texture. Add salt and pepper to fit your taste.
- Place in the fridge and let cool down.
- Serve cold and with the veggies cut in small pieces aside. Sprinkle with the rest of the basil.
