Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, bouquet garni, stock and balsamic vinegar and cook 15-20 minutes more, until the tomatoes have broken down and the vegetables are very soft.

Immediately plunge the leaves into a bowl of ice water and let rest for 1 minute. Drain the leaves in a colander and remove any excess moisture from the leaves by squeezing them between two plates over the sink. Place the leaves in a blender with the 1/2 cup of olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Strain through a very fine strainer and place in a small zip-top bag.
• When ready to serve the soup, place it in a warm soup bowl. Cut a very tiny piece out of the bottom corner of the zip-top bag and use this to decoratively drizzle a bit of basil oil over each bowl of soup. Place a few of the diced green or yellow tomatoes on top and serve.
