Where is the nutritional information? The magazine always lists the breakdown.

Hummm, I am wondering what the benefit of adding to a bowl is, less it would be too much liquid for the blender if done all together at one time in the blender? I will try this one later, when the weather is warm again. I adore Gazpacho!

Why waste the bowl? Combine the bread ingredients in the blender, pulse once, and then continue with step 2, adding other ingredients to the blender. I don't think these folks do their own dishes.
