Method
1. Reserve 1 tablespoon each of the diced tomato, cucumber, and green pepper.

2. Working in batches, purée the rest of the tomatoes, cucumber, and green pepper along with the garlic, bread, oil, vinegar, and salt in a blender until very smooth .

2. Strain the mixture through a sieve, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to release as much of the soup as possible. Discard the solids and chilled the gazpacho for several hours.

3. To serve, ladle the gazpacho into chilled bowls. Garnish with the reserved tomato, cucumber, green pepper, as well as the croutons, and drizzle liberally with olive oil.
