this version of the gazpacho has bread in it as well. it says it "adds a surprising cream smoothness, which complements the crispness of the raw vegetables, but the soup is excellent without the bread, too, if you prefer to omit it."
moosewood's tropical gazpacho:
4 garlic cloves
1.5 c. peeled, seeded, diced cukes
1.5 c. diced red bell peppers
.5 c. diced red onion
1 c. diced tomato
1 c. canned unsweetened pineapple chunks in juice
2 T red wine vinegar
generous pinch cayenne, or more to taste
1 t ground cumin
1.5 c. french or italian bread, crusts removed, torn into chunks
3 c. tomato juice
s & p to taste
thin slices of lemon or lime
ina blender, combine garlic, .75 c. of the cuke, .75 c. of the pepper, the red onion, .5 c. of the tomato, the pineapple and its juice, vinegar, cayenne, cumin, bread, and tomato juice. purée until smooth. transfer to a bowl, then stir in remaining, cukes, peppers, and tomatoes for texture and visual appeal. (!!??) add s & p to taste. refrigerate 'til cold - 1 to 2 hrs. serve garnished with lemon or lime slices.
