Peel cucumber and roughly chop all vegetables (tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, onion).

Soak the bread in a little water or vinegar for 5 minutes until softened.

Place all vegetables, garlic, soaked bread, sherry vinegar, olive oil, and salt in a blender.

Blend at high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

With the blender running, slowly drizzle in a little more olive oil to if needed for texture.

Pass the soup through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher or bowl, pressing on solids to extract all liquid. Discard solids.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until very cold.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or vinegar. If too thick, thin with a little cold water.

Serve ice cold, garnished with extra olive oil or small vegetables if desired.
