  • ½ red onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • ½ cucumber, peeled

  • Extra virgin olive oil

Method: How to make Tommi's gazpacho

1. Soak the bread in just enough cold water to cover for 2 - 3 minutes.

Tommi’s tip:

If you like, you can chill this cold soup by putting in the fridge for 3 - 4 hours or overnight before serving.

2. Place the remaining soup ingredients in a food processor. Add the bread and blend until smooth. Season to taste.

3. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and garnish with hard-boiled eggs, ham, red onion and parsley. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and serve.
