Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
- Tear the basil leaves into small pieces.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the white bread crumbs in a mixing bowl.
- Pour in half of the olive oil (approximately ½ cup or 110g).
- Add the minced garlic and the torn basil leaves to the bread crumbs.
- Mix well to combine, ensuring the bread crumbs are well-coated with the oil, garlic, and basil.
- Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally to ensure even toasting.
- Once done, remove from the oven and set aside.
- Pour the remaining half of the olive oil into a large pot and heat over medium heat.
- Add the canned tomatoes (do not drain) to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Season with a dash of salt, adjusting to taste if necessary.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, cool slightly and blend in batches in a countertop blender.
- Return the soup to the pot and reheat if necessary.
- Ladle the hot tomato soup into bowls.
- Garnish each serving with a generous sprinkle of the garlic and basil-crusted bread crumbs.
- Optionally, you can drizzle a small amount of extra olive oil on top for added richness.
Tips:
- For an added depth of flavor, roast the canned tomatoes with a little oil and salt before adding them to the soup.
- Use stale bread for the bread crumbs to achieve a better, crunchier texture.
- Garnish the soup with a drizzle of olive oil and a few fresh basil leaves before serving.
- You can adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more or less vegetable broth, according to your preference.
- Taste the soup before adding salt, as canned tomatoes can sometimes be salty.
