Tuscan Bread Soup Papa al Pomodoro

If using fresh tomatoes, score their skin with a cross, immerse them in boiling water for a few seconds, then cool them in cold water. The skins will peel off easily. Then chop the tomatoes into smaller pieces.

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it softens and begins to turn golden. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and let them cook for about 10 minutes until they start to break down. Add salt, pepper, and if the tomatoes are too acidic, you can add a pinch of sugar.
