Ingredients

  • 175g day-old crusty bread
  • 2 red peppers, roughly chopped
  • 1 clove/s garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 x 450g packs classic vine tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 100ml extra virgin olive oil, plus 2 tbsp
  • 1½ tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 1 cucumber, peeled
  • 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • 2 salad onions, finely sliced

Method

  1. Roughly chop the bread and put into the large bowl of a food processor. Whizz to make fairly fine crumbs. Remove 75g from the food processor and set aside.

  2. Add the red peppers, garlic, tomatoes, 100ml oil and the sherry vinegar to the remaining bread in the food processor. Cut a 5cm length of cucumber, finely chop and set aside. Roughly chop the remaining cucumber, add to the food processor and whizz everything until as smooth as possible. Chill for at least 2 hours, then taste and season. Whisk in 2-3 tbsp cold water to loosen the soup to how you like it.

  3. Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp oil in a small frying pan, add the reserved breadcrumbs and fry, stirring regularly, until crisp and golden, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir through the paprika. Season, then set aside to cool completely.

  4. Divide the soup between 4 bowls, then scatter over the sliced salad onions, reserved cucumber and spicy breadcrumbs.

Cook’s tip

For a quicker option, pick up a chilled litre carton of Waitrose Classic Gazpacho, pour straight into bowls and top with some chopped cucumber and swirl of olive oil.
