  The deliciousness of this cold, fresh soup depends on the
  quality of the tomatoes. Purchase tomatoes as ripe as
  possible, then use them quickly because refrigeration will
  rob them of their flavor and give them a mealy texture.
  
  Prepare the tomatoes: Bring a medium to large pot of water
  to boil. Meanwhile set up an ice bath (a bowl of ice with
  some water). Make an "X" through the tomato's skin on the
  bottom. Carefully place in the boiling water for a few
  seconds, just until the skin loosens. The riper the tomato,
  the less time it needs in the water. Immediately place the
  tomato in the ice bath to stop the cooking. Repeat with the
  rest of the tomatoes. When cool enough to handle, peel
  tomatoes and cut horizontally in half. Gently squeeze the
  halved tomatoes, removing and discarding most of the seeds.
  Rough chop the seeded tomatoes and set aside.
  
  Assembly: In a large food processor, blend together — in
  batches if necessary — the tomatoes, cucumber, garlic,
  onion, 4 teaspoons vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, lemon
  juice and 1/2 cup bread cubes (to add thickness and body).
  
  Season to taste with Salt & pepper. Check flavor and
  consistency; blend in more sherry vinegar, lemon zest and
  bread as desired.
  
  Cover and chill in refrigerator until ready to serve. Taste
  and adjust seasoning once more before serving. Divide soup
  into chilled bowls and garnish, or allow guests to garnish
  their own bowl.
  
  Serves 4
  
  Note: The creme fraiche will "float" on top of the soup if
  both are similar in consistency. Otherwise, the heavier
  creme fraiche will sink to the bottom of the bowl, though
  it will taste just as lovely.
