Italian Bread Soup Recipe (pappa Al Pomodoro)
  1. In a medium size heavy bottom soup pot add a splash of water, veggie stock or a light drizzle of olive oil.

  2. Add the onions and red pepper flakes and sauté together for about 5 minutes until translucent. At this point stir in the rosemary and garlic and give it a good stir.

  3. Crush the San Marzano tomatoes with your hands and add them to the pot together with the bay leaf. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring your tomato soup to a gentle simmer. Cook on low flame for 25 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste with sea salt and set aside.

  4. Meanwhile grill the bread on both sides on a cast iron grill pan/griddle until nice charred grill marks form.Use a large garlic clove and rub both sides of the bread. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. (Skip the oil on a WFPB diet)

  5. Using your hands tear the bruschetta into rustic pieces and add them to the soup. Cover with a lid and allow it to sit for 10 minutes, the bread will puff up into instant dumplings as it soaks the broth. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve garnished with the fresh parsley and extra red pepper flakes.
