  1. Truthfully, I don't like throwing out food (even crust). The crust does soften… You just have to cut it small (almost a small dice). Or a little larger for some texture (a more rustic vibe) in your soup. Or might strain it before serving to give the crust a little more time to soften, but you do you… For just me, I might skip the straining altogether. 💕🌞🌵😷

  2. Top with crumbled or sliced hard boiled egg and some very good Spanish jamón and you have the classic summer soup known here in Spain as Salmorejo… not to be confused with the other Spanish classic, Gazpacho.

  3. Tomatoes lose their flavor if refrigerated. I would only put left-over soup in the fridge. Never put whole raw tomatoes in the fridge. I bet if you kept some sitting on the counter and DID NOT chill it, you'd like the soup that stayed at room temperature better than the soup that was chilled. I make gazpacho all the time with tomatoes and summer vegetables from the garden and basil and the best tasting batch is always the first room temperature batch. Also I wouldn't bother with the bread or the strainer. It is nice when it has texture after just being blended in the food processor.
