Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 thick slices country-style bread, torn into bite-size pieces
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
1 large white onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons thyme leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds beefsteak tomatoes, cut into wedges
Hot sauce, to taste
1 cup baby arugula
1 ounce Pecorino, shaved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss bread with 2 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Bake, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crunchy, 8-10 minutes; set croutons aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, 5-7 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until they just start to release their juices, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Transfer tomato mixture to a blender and blend until smooth; taste and add hot sauce to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle soup with more oil and top with arugula, Pecorino, and croutons.
  • Do Ahead
  • Croutons can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

I love the addition of arugula croutons to this soup. They add a nice peppery flavor and a bit of crunch. I also like that the recipe uses pecorino cheese instead of Parmesan. It gives the soup a slightly nutty flavor.
