Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 leek, chopped (white part only)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped tomatoes
  • 1⁄3 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1⁄2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1⁄2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1⁄2 tsp. pepper
  • 2 cups cubed day-old Italian bread
  • 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • In a heavy saucepan, heat the oil on medium. Sauté the leeks and garlic, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the tomatoes and basil. Bring to a boil. Boil gently for 5 to 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
