Spanish foods: Gazpacho

Learned at a cooking class here!

I don't like tomato soup. I don't like tomato juice. BUT this has become one of my favorite things here.
Gazpacho
ingredients:

• kilo of tomatoes
• a red bell pepper
• a garlic clove
• shallots or onion
• a cucumber
• 6 tablespoons of olive oil. 
• 3 table spoons of white whine vinegar
• half a table spoon of cumin
• salt & pepper
• (opt. bread, croutons, bits of feta cheese, chopped watermelon, chopped any of the above veggies- NOM)

Make a cross at the base of the tomatoes. scald the tomatoes in hot water for a while, take them out and peel them when they are warm.
Put all of the veggies in all in a blender AFTER chopping them up, and add the oil and vinegar. To avoid lumps strain the juice after blending.
Add water depending on your preference.
Chill it and eat like a soup or drink.
