Salt

1 quart chicken or beef stock, boiling
12 ounces stale homemade or stale Italian bread, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut the 2 garlic cloves in half and brown in 2 tablespoons of oil. As soon as they start to turn color, add the tomatoes, plenty of basil, salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for 15 minutes and then add the boiling stock. When this has reached boiling point again, add the thinly sliced bread and continue cooking for 15 more minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. After 1 hour, stir all rigorously so that the bread completely disintegrates. Serve hot or lukewarm, adding a touch of extra-virgin olive oil and fresh basil leaves. No cheese.

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup good olive oil
2 cups chopped yellow onion (2 onions)
1 cup medium-diced carrots, unpeeled (3 carrots)
1 fennel bulb, trimmed, cored, and medium-diced (1 1/2 cups)
4 teaspoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
3 cups (1-inch) diced ciabatta cubes, crusts removed
2 (28-ounce) cans good Italian plum tomatoes
4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
3 cups (1-inch) diced ciabatta cubes
2 ounces thickly sliced pancetta, chopped
24 to 30 whole fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons good olive oil, plus more for serving
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, fennel, and garlic and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, until tender. Add the ciabatta cubes and cook for 5 more minutes. Place the tomatoes in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process just until coarsely chopped. Add the tomatoes to the pot along with the chicken stock, red wine, basil, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, lower the heat, and allow to simmer, partially covered, for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the topping, place the ciabatta cubes, pancetta, and basil on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss well. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes, until all the ingredients are crisp. The basil leaves will turn dark and crisp, which is perfectly fine. Reheat the soup, if necessary, beat with a wire whisk until the bread is broken up. Stir in the Parmesan and taste for seasoning. Serve hot sprinkled with the topping and drizzled with additional olive oil.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds ripe fresh tomatoes
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 9-inch piece day-old Italian bread
3 tablespoons finely chopped basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the tomatoes in half horizontally and squeeze the halves gently to remove the juice and seeds. Coarsely chop the tomatoes, removing the cores. Place in a food processor and process to a finely chopped but not a pureed consistency.
  • Heat half the oil in a large saucepan or skillet. Add the onion and cook until soft but not brown. Stir in the garlic, saute briefly, then add the tomatoes. Cook about 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened and are thick.
  • Soak the bread briefly in cold water, squeeze out the water, then crumble the bread into the tomato mixture. Mix, then add the basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. The mixture should be thick.
  • Serve at room temperature garnished with basil leaves and with the remaining olive oil drizzled over the top.
