We made this lastnight, we doubled the recipe the kids said it was one of their

favorites.

We had it hot.

Tuscan Soup

 

2 16 oz. cans diced tomatoes in juice

1 large

yellow onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, finely minced

1 cup or vegetable

broth

1 cup celery, chopped

1 cup olives, sliced

1 large cucumber,

peeled, seeded, chopped

1 tablespoon dried basil

1 tablespoon balsamic

vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 loaf day old French

bread, cubed

garnish: 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

 

Combine all ingredients except cheese and bread.

Refrigerate. (The onions are tamed by the chilling.) When ready to serve, add

cubes of bread and toss.

If you would like to serve this soup hot, simmer

for 10 to 20 minutes. Put bread cubes in the bottom of bowl. Ladle soup over

bread. Top with optional Parmesan cheese. Serves 4 to 6.
