What you need:
- 1 slice of white bread

- 2 cloves of garlic
- 500g ripe tomatoes
- ½ cucumber
- 3 red bell peppers
- 2 spring onions
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Garlic Sea Salt
- Black Pepper
Instructions:
Start by removing the crust from the bread slice and soaking it in some water. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Blanch the tomatoes with boiling water, peel, halve, deseed, and roughly dice the flesh. Wash the cucumber, halve it lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Wash the bell peppers, halve them, and remove the white parts and seeds. Dice one pepper and half the cucumber into approx. 1 cm cubes and set aside. Roughly chop the remaining cucumber and two peppers. Wash and clean the spring onions. Cut one spring onion into small rings and set aside. Chop the other one into pieces. Squeeze the excess water out of the bread and place it in a blender along with the chopped onion, garlic, tomatoes, the rough pieces of bell pepper, cucumber, and spring onion. Gradually add about 250 ml of cold water until the desired consistency is achieved. Add vinegar and oil to the mixture and season with garlic sea salt and pepper to taste. Chill the soup for at least 1 hour. Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary and garnish with the reserved vegetable cubes.
