Ingredients
Instructions
-
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the ripe tomatoes and blanch them for about 1-2 minutes, or until the skins start to peel off. Remove from the boiling water and cool them in ice water. Peel and seed the tomatoes, then roughly chop them.
-
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook until golden brown.
-
Add the chopped tomatoes to the saucepan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Tear the stale bread into small pieces and add it to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread has absorbed the liquid and the soup has thickened.
-
Remove from heat and let the soup rest for 10 minutes.
-
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
