Tuscan Tomato And Bread Soup Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Tomatoes

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the San Marzano tomatoes, breaking them apart with a spoon.

3. 3

   Simmer the Soup

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup.

5. 5

   Add Bread and Seasoning

   Stir in the bread pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and top with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle with more olive oil if desired.
