Green Gazpacho Vegetable Soup

- 1 green Bell pepper
- 9 ozs Vegetable broth

Tear the white bread into pieces, and drizzle with the oil. Peel the garlic, and squeeze the bread.
Rinse the tomatoes and remove the core. Cut a cross into the tomato and blanch for a few seconds in boiling water. Remove from the water, and peel. Quarter, remove the seeds, and dice into small cubes. Place the tomatoes in the blender.
Peel and halve the cucumber. Remove the seeds, coarsely chop, and add half to the blender. Rinse and trim the peppers. Halve, remove the seeds and membranes, and coarsely chop. Add half of the peppers to the blender. Add the soaked bread and vegetable broth to the blender, and puree everything together. If needed, use more broth.
