Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds plum tomatoes, cored, peeled and cut in two
1 14-ounce can plum tomatoes
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups small cubes stale sourdough bread, without crust

1 tablespoon minced fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Squeeze tomato halves over a sieve held on a bowl. Discard seeds, reserve juice, and coarsely chop tomatoes. Place tomatoes in food processor. Drain canned tomatoes, reserving juice, coarsely chop, and place in food processor. Pulse to chop, but not too fine.

  • Serve hot or at room temperature, with grated ricotta salata and minced basil strewn on each serving.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually make a big batch and freeze some for later. It's the perfect meal to have on hand for a busy weeknight.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it flavorful. The texture was also a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if the bread was toasted before adding it to the soup.

This soup was a disappointment. It was bland and watery. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable. The bread was also soggy. I won't be making this again.

This soup is a keeper! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love the way the tomatoes and bread meld together to create a rich and flavorful broth. I usually serve it with a side of grilled cheese sandwiches.

This soup was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I would have preferred it if there was more bread in the soup. The flavor was a bit too tomato-y for my taste.

This soup is so good! I used fresh tomatoes from my garden and the flavor was incredible. I also added a bit of chopped onion and garlic, which really enhanced the flavor. This is definitely a new favorite recipe of mine.

I'm not a huge fan of tomato soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The bread adds a really nice texture and flavor to the soup. It's also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

This soup is a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The tomatoes are sweet and tangy, the bread is soft and chewy, and the broth is rich and flavorful. I added a bit of chopped basil and Parmesan cheese, which really took it to the next level. High
