Rich tomato soup that tastes delicious. I love to serve it with mullet fish fillet - simply grilled and served in the soup. Takes very little to prepare it. No meat, just fish, so perfect option for vegetarians.
Classic Tuscan Tomato Soup has its origins in Italy and is called pappa al pomodoro. Acidic and full of aromas tomatoes are combined with onions, garlic and basil, thickened with toasted bread and finished off with freshly hashed basil leaves and like I do served with the mullet fillet on the top. Check it out, it smells heavenly and tastes even better.
