Create a classic tomato basil soup with crusty Italian bread. Stale bread works best for optimal flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 3 x 400g cans whole tomatoes
  • 500ml vegetable stock
  • 1/2 ciabatta, cut into 3cm cubes
  • 125.00 ml basil leaves, torn if large
  • Shaved parmesan, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Coarsely chop tomatoes from 2 cans, saving juice. Add all tomatoes and juices to the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in stock, bread, and 1 cup (250ml) water. Simmer for 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, mix in basil (keeping some for garnish), and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan and reserved basil.
