Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds tomatoes, cored, quartered
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs basil
1/4 loaf country-style bread, crust removed, torn into 2" pieces (about 1 1/2 cups), divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°. Toss tomatoes, garlic, fennel seeds, and 3 tablespoons oil in a large baking dish; season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are browned and the juices thicken, 30-35 minutes.
  • Transfer tomato mixture to a large saucepan; add basil, 1 cup torn bread, and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally and breaking up bread and tomatoes a little, until bread is softened and soup has thickened slightly, 8-10 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, tear remaining 1/2 cup bread into smaller pieces; toss on a baking sheet with 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt. Toast, tossing often, until crisp, 5-8 minutes.
  • Serve soup topped with toasted bread and drizzled with more oil.

This soup freezes well. I always make a big batch and freeze it in individual portions.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I made this soup with zucchini instead. It was still delicious!

I didn't have any fresh basil, so I used dried basil instead. The soup still tasted good, but I think it would have been even better with fresh basil.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I prefer recipes that are quicker and easier to make.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup was too bland. I think I needed to add more salt and pepper.

This is the best pappa al pomodoro I've ever had. The tomatoes are perfectly ripe and the basil is so fresh. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few tomatoes that are about to go bad, and this soup is the perfect way to use them up.
