ITALIAN TOMATO FLORENTINE SOUP



Italian Tomato Florentine Soup image

This is by far my favorite soup. It is by far the closest recipe I have found to my Grandmother's. I have tweaked it a little, and adjusted the measurements to make it a bit more diet friendly, but it still holds the authentic flavor of the roman original. Adding tiny noodles like acini de peppe works fine. Day old/stale bread really works best for this, NOT fresh. Toast the bread a bit first if you are using a fresh loaf. Flavors marry beautifully after sitting over night for wonderful leftovers.

Time 1h

Yield 8 bowls, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup onion, diced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 cups whole canned tomatoes (canned fine)
2 cups tomatoes, diced (canned fine)
4 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups spinach, rinsed, stems trimmed, leaves chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
3 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
4 ounces prosciutto, diced or 4 ounces country ham
1 -2 cup romano cheese, grated
Italian bread

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan.
  • Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
  • Add the whole tomatoes(crushing them by hand as you add them to the pot), diced tomatoes, broth, spinach, wine and herbs. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer 35 minutes.
  • Add the prosciutto and simmer 10 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, cut the bread into 3/4 inch slices and place them at the bottom of the serving bowls. (For an added flavor, toast the bread slightly and rub with a slice of garlic.) Sprinkle the top of each slice with cheese.
  • Carefully spoon the soup over the bread, completely covering the slice by at least an inch, and garnish with more of the Romano cheese.
  • Leftovers are even better the second day, and freeze well.
