Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, smashed or thinly sliced

one 28-ounce can whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1/4 cup packed fresh basil, chopped or torn

2-3 cups dry bread, torn or cut into cubes (see notes)

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic; sauté for 1 minute.

In a separate bowl, crush tomatoes by hand. Add them into the pot. Add salt and pepper. Partially cover and simmer over medium heat for about ten minutes.

Add the broth and basil; bring back to a simmer for another ten minutes.

Add the bread cubes; simmer for another ten minutes until the bread is soft. You can use a potato masher to further break down the bread to your desired texture.

Serve with Parmesan cheese, extra olive oil, and more fresh basil! Simplicity and top notch ingredients… it’s just stunning.
