Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Toss bread cubes in oil, turning with tongs or spatula to toast on all sides for approximately 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a plate, and allow to cool completely.

Combine chopped orange or yellow tomatoes, basil leaves, and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Chill serving bowls in the refrigerator.

Remove basil leaves from the chilled tomato mixture. Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to process until frothy and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

Ladle blended soup into the chilled bowls. Arrange cucumber, heirloom tomatoes, onion (if using), bell pepper, and peaches in the center of each serving.
