Tuscan Bread Soup Papa al Pomodoro

If using fresh tomatoes, score the skin crosswise, immerse them in boiling water for a few seconds, then shock them in cold water. The skin will now peel off easily. Afterward, cut the tomatoes into small pieces.

In a large pot, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and lightly golden brown. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes until they begin to break down. Season with salt and pepper. If the tomatoes are too acidic, a pinch of sugar can be added.
