This seems weird but tastes really good. It's a thick soup.

How To Make tomato bread soup

Step 1

Add the olive to a large pot and add the onions. Add some salt and simmer until the onions are soft, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Toss in the garlic and cook 2 more minutes. Add the wine and let most evaporate.
Step 3

Add the tomatoes and cook for about 15 minutes, breaking them up. Toss in the whole basil leaves.
Step 4

In batches, puree the tomato mixture in a food processor.
Step 5

Add it back to the pan and add the tomato juice and bread. Cook for about 20 minutes until the soup is very thick.
Step 6

Serve with Parmesan cheese and garnish with the chiffonade basil.
