Garlic Piperade Soup image

I first made this over twenty years ago--a Marian Morash recipe from the 1982 Victory Garden Cookbook. It was good then; it's good now. A Basque recipe, one can substitute chicken or vegetable stock for the beef stock.

20 garlic cloves
2 cups sliced onions
1 cup sliced sweet pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups tomatoes, ripe, peeled, seeded and sliced
2 cups beef stock

salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Blanch the garlic in boiling water for thirty seconds; run under cold water and drain.

  • Add the garlic and tomatoes.
  • Cover the pan and cook over low heat for thirty minutes.
  • Pour in the broth and bring to a boil.
  • Tear the bread into large pieces and add to the boiling soup where it will disintegrate and thicken the broth.
