Don’t pass over slightly bruised or extra-ripe tomatoes for this soup recipe; they’re often the most flavorful and especially good here.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

2

slices thick country-style bread, torn into bite-size pieces

4

tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling

Kosher salt

1

large white onion, thinly sliced

2

garlic cloves, crushed

2

tablespoons thyme leaves

Freshly ground black pepper

1½

pounds beefsteak tomatoes, cut into wedges

Hot sauce

1

cup baby arugula

1

ounce Pecorino, shaved

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°. Toss bread with 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Bake, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crunchy, 8–10 minutes; set croutons aside.

    Step 2

    Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion, garlic, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, 5–7 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until they just start to release their juices, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Transfer tomato mixture to a blender and blend until smooth; taste and add hot sauce to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Drizzle soup with more oil and top with arugula, Pecorino, and croutons.

    Step 4

    Do Ahead: Croutons can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

  • I’m not sure why this is rated so low without any reviews, I made it last summer and thought it was delicious. My guests agreed. It’s simple and fresh tasting. Doesn’t taste like canned tomato soup I am used to, and that’s a good thing.
