1
Prepare all vegetables: wash and peel the cucumber, wash the yellow/orange bell pepper and remove seeds and white membranes, wash the sweet pepper and remove seeds.
2
Cut the cucumber, yellow/orange bell pepper, sweet pepper, garlic clove, and fresh tomatoes into chunks and place in the blender.
3
Add the soaked and squeezed-out bread, canned tomatoes, sherry vinegar, salt, black pepper, and fresh basil to the blender.
4
Blend everything on high speed (smoothie setting) until completely smooth and fine.
5
While the blender is running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil to achieve a creamy consistency.
6
Strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve to remove any bits and achieve a silky-smooth texture.
7
Stir gently once more and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, preferably overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
8
Chill the serving bowls beforehand. Pour the soup into the chilled bowls and top with crispy croutons, diced avocado, and a drizzle of good olive oil.
