from How To Cook Everything Vegetarian
Another boyfriend meal! And the best one ever. The boyfriend wanted to make some tomato soup, so I directed him to the 5 or so tomato soups + variations in How To Cook Everything Veg. And then I was like "Make the bread one! Make the bread one!" For those of you who have never had bread soup, it's awesome mushy bread + tomato + garlic + olive oil goodness. It's kind of like if you put a pizza in a blender, but in a delicious way. It is peasant food in the best possible way. You make the tomato soup first, and then add the bread and let it sit for a little bit and soak everything up, so it gets all mushy and delicious and offsets the acidy tomato fantastically.
It's also something that my mom made when I was growing up. My mom is an awesome cook, especially when it comes to Italian food, so this meal was super comfort food for me.
Boyfriend says: This was fun to make and I was very happy with the way it came out. I liked being able to make a one pot meal. And I was happy that you liked it.
(Cyn says: Awwwww.)
