Porra Antequera is a traditional cold soup from the Andalusian region of Spain. It is similar to gazpacho but with a thicker consistency due to the addition of bread. The soup is often served as a refreshing starter on hot summer days or as a main dish alongside other Spanish delicacies. The combination of ripe tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil gives Porra Antequera a rich and satisfying flavor that is both healthy and delicious.

Instructions

1.	Cut the stale bread into small cubes and soak in water for 5-10 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and set aside.
2.	Cut the ripe tomatoes into small pieces and set aside.
3.	In a mortar, mash the garlic cloves with a pinch of salt until you get a smooth paste.
4.	In a blender, mix the soaked bread, mashed garlic, and tomatoes until smooth or the desired consistency is achieved.
5.	Slowly pour in the olive oil while the blender is running. Add salt to taste.
6.	Serve chilled in bowls, garnished with diced tomatoes and green peppers, and drizzled with additional olive oil if desired.
