Ingredients
- 500g canned organic peeled tomatoes
- 2 thick slices of bread
- 2 garlic cloves
- chili (optional)
- extra virgin olive oil to taste
- fresh basil to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Pour in enough oil to cover the bottom of a saucepan, add the crushed garlic and, if using, the chilli. Fry for a few moments, add the tomatoes and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Season to taste. In the meantime, take two slices of bread – about 2cm thick – and soak in water for 10 minutes. Squeeze the bread well, then add it to the tomato sauce as it cooks, adding a little water too.
Step 3
Continue cooking the tomato soup for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Towards the end, use a whisk to make the consistency creamier and smoother. Add the fresh basil and a drizzle of oil.
