Gazpacho, a cold tomato soup, is a Spanish specialty.  Ripe summer tomatoes, in this case yellow ones, are pureed with a little bit of bread, water and olive oil.  Top your refreshing gazpacho with buttery croutons, cucumbers, diced tomatoes and onions.  You'll want to use the best tomatoes you can find for this recipe (which will most likely be at the farmer's market) because you'll want the sweet tomato flavor to really sing in this dish.

2 Larges Yellow Heirloom Tomatoes

Onions, chopped for garnish
Croutons for garnish
 
Directions:
 








Cut crust off of slices of bread and soak in water.
