Steps:
- Turn on the oven to Low Broil. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet, on the middle rack, and bake until lightly browned, turning once, about 10 minutes total, set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion, garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), and bay leaf. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and the chicken stock, sugar and bread; bring soup to boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until bread is completely saturated and starts to break down, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf. 2. Transfer half of soup to blender. Add 1 tablespoon oil and process until soup is smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and repeat with remaining soup and oil. Rinse out soup pot and return soup to pot. Stir in brandy (if using). Return soup to boil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce soup to low heat and add basil. Serve soup in individual bowls. To serve, place a slice of toasted bread in the bottom of each warmed bowl and sprinkle with a spoonful of Parmesan Cheese. Ladle soup on top and garnish with a basil leaf. Serve Immediately.
