Pappa Al Pomodoro (Tuscan Bread Soup) image

I made Dark Tuscan Bread (Pane Toscano Scuro) Recipe #85123 , and I needed a recipe to use up the stale bits. I made this soup and it was lovely and such a handy way to use up stale bread! Just thinking about it is making my mouth water. You can use any bread you like, but a tuscan bread is the best.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
1 (12 ounce) can whole tomatoes
salt and black pepper
1/4 cup water
1/3 loaf bread, day old Tuscan
20 fresh basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil and crushed garlic.
  • When the garlic flavors infuse oil, add the red pepper flakes being careful not to burn them.
  • Add the whole can of tomatoes into the pot, then using a spatula cut the tomatoes into chunks.
  • Add salt and ground black pepper, to taste.
  • (Remember, bread chunks will be added to this so make it a bit saltier then you would like it to be.)
  • Add water and stir.
  • With your hands, pull the bread into bite-sized chunks, then add them to the pot.
  • "Toss" (do not stir) bread chunks in to the soup.
  • Add basil leaves.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
