Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a skillet over medium-high. Toss bread cubes with 2 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt.

  2. Step 2

    Toast croutons, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy all over, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer croutons to a paper towel. Add tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and vinegar to a blender.

  4. Step 4

    Blend until smooth, about 45 seconds. Drizzle in remaining 4 tbsp oil while blending until emulsified.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Thin with cold water if needed (soup should pour easily).

  6. Step 6

    Chill until serving. Top each bowl with crispy croutons and a drizzle of olive oil.
