Tuscan Bread Soup Papa al Pomodoro

If using fresh tomatoes, score their skins in a cross shape, immerse them in boiling water for a few seconds, then cool them in cold water. This way, their skins can be easily peeled. Afterwards, cut the tomatoes into smaller pieces.

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

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