1
Cut the vegetables in chunks. If you like, you can skin the tomatoes but it isn't necessary.
2
Process all the vegetables in a blender in small batches with tomato juice and olive oil until you have a thick puree. Add tomato juice and oil with every batch to provide plenty of liquid.
3
For the last batch, soak bread in warm water, squeeze out excess water, add the bread and blend well.
4
Pour it all into a bowl or, like I do, a pitcher and add the vinegar and lime juice.
5
Season with salt, pepper, and cumin.
6
Mix well.
7
Chill in refrigerator until very cold.
8
Just before serving, garnish with all or any combination of the listed garnishes if you wish. The Italian in me likes a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
