Instructions: In the bowl of a food processor or blender, place tomatoes, 1/2 cup bell peppers, 1/2 cup cucumber, 1/4 cup onion, 1/2 cup croutons, the broth, oil, cumin, vinegar, salt and pepper. Cover and blend on medium speed until smooth.

Pour into medium bowl and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Serve remaining vegetables and croutons as accompaniments. Other good additions are yogurt or sour cream and chopped hard-cooked egg.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: What could be easier than uncooked, cold soup based on canned tomatoes? Its a good chance to hone your chopping skills with a new chefs knife, too.
