TUSCAN BREAD AND TOMATO SOUP
Although some bread soups are very simple mixtures of bread and broth, the ones I love most are packed with produce. And while the traditional versions of the Mediterranean soups are made with white bread, there's no reason not to use whole-grain breads in these recipes. I don't recommend sourdough, however, because the flavor is too strong. Called pappa al pomodoro, this humble mixture of bread, tomatoes, garlic and basil has a luxurious flavor. Although the soup is traditionally made with unsalted Tuscan bread, it works beautifully with any country bread.
