Method

  1. Put the chopped tomatoes, spring onions, garlic and cucumber in a blender and whizz until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve 2 or 3 times to remove most of the pulp.
  2. Put the mix back in the blender and slowly add the olive oil and sherry vinegar and season well. Chill in the fridge.
  3. To make the garnish, finely dice the spring onions, red pepper, green pepper and hard-boiled egg. Cut the bread into 1cm cubes and gently fry in a little olive oil to make croutons. Serve the gazpacho with the garnish.

    This cold soup should be served chilled or with some ice cubes added. Garnish also with some black grapes... it's delicious. Or simply garnish with diced tomato, peppers, cucumbers, onions...

    ''I made this summer soup with the last of the toms from the greenhouse. Each of the flavours came through beautifully and it only needed the smallest bit of salt. I must confess to not putting it through a sieve so was perhaps thicker than otherwise but gazpacho in November perhaps needs a little something extra.
