  • Artisan bakeries for high-quality sourdough bread

This Rustic Tomato & Basil Sourdough Soup showcases the beauty of using simple, high-quality ingredients to create a meal that feels like a hug in a bowl. Embrace the simplicity and enjoy the flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 200 g sourdough bread, roughly torn
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 liter vegetable broth
  • Handful of fresh basil leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated Parmesan, to serve (optional)

Мethod of preparation

Begin by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until they start to soften, releasing their juicy flavors. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Gradually add the torn sourdough bread to the soup, stirring well to combine, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid and thicken the soup. Add the fresh basil leaves, reserving some for garnish, and blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for an added touch of luxury. This Rustic Tomato & Basil Sourdough Soup will quickly become a staple in your culinary repertoire, blending classic flavors with a modern twist for a truly memorable meal.
