Quick and easy gazpacho (cold tomato soup)

Ingredients:
cucumber
(*) tomatoes
(*) green pepper
salt
sugar
vinegar
pepper
parsley

... and in the rush I forgot to add the stale bread! I didn't add the traditional garlic either, as I need to meet a few people shortly afterwards... made up for it by adding a bit extra pepper!

I didn't have time to refrigerate it either, but veggies were on the fridge, so they were cool enough.

Wash, peel and chop the veggies
Pour into the food processor and blitz
Season to your taste
Serve and enjoy this refreshing and healthy drinkable cold soup!
