"I got this recipe from Mary before she moved. She says that it is good with or without the bread. It's just a nice and different take on gazpacho. Cook time is actually the chilling time"

First, I did not use the bread in this recipe... other than that, I did follow the instructions and didn't make any substitutions. I was expecting a sweet and fruity gazpacho - this really wasn't. The cumin overpowered the the pineapple and it kind of took on a gazpacho-chili flavor. If I were to make this again, I'd leave the cumin out completely.
