Gazpacho

We are in the dead of winter, but why not fantasize about summer? Gazpacho is a cold summer soup from the south of Spain. It has a lot of garlic, RAW garlic!

Ingredients:
1 large seedless cucumber
1 green pepper
2 tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic (you can make it 2 or 1 if you think it's too garlicky, but that's the whole idea of it)
1/4 white onion
1 panini bread
1/2 cup really really concentrated knorr chicken stock (or vegetable)
Olive oil
Vinegar
Salt and pepper

Directions:
Combine all the ingredients in the blender (may have to do it half and half if they don't fit in the blender, they surely do not fit in mine).
Mix until it looks like a smooth cream. May need to add a bit more of water, or better still, ice.
Serve chilled. ENJOY!
