Tomato and Garlic Bread Soup
- 1 loaf Italian bread
- 1/4 c. olive oil
- 1/4 tsp. fresh-ground pepper
- 3 medium red onions
- 6 medium carrots
- 15 clove garlic
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 5 c. marinara sauce
- 2 can low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/4 c. hearty Italian red wine
- Make the croutons: Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the pepper in a large bowl.
- Spread the bread, in a single layer, on a baking pan and toast in the oven until golden -- about 6 minutes.
- Set aside.
- Make the soup: Gently toss the onions, carrots, garlic, remaining olive oil, and salt together in the bowl.
- Spread the vegetables, in a single layer, on a baking pan and roast for 10 minutes, turn, and continue to roast until browned -- about 10 more minutes.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pulse until finely chopped.
- Combine the marinara sauce, chicken broth, and wine in a large saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add chopped vegetables, increase heat to medium, and continue to simmer for 20 minutes.
- Stir in half of the croutons and cook for 5 more minutes.
- (The soup will become thickened.)
- Place soup in warmed bowls and garnish with reserved croutons.
- Serve immediately.
