The resulting dish is brothy but thick; it can be thinned with stock for a more traditional soup.

Tip:

This is a great way to use up that two-day-old bread—or, if it’s an easier sell, try tossing the soup with pasta instead.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    10 minutes

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

4 thick slices country bread
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
A few fresh sage leaves
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Sprinkle the bread with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Toast the slices until crusty and golden.

    Step 2

    2. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet, then add the garlic and sage and stir until the garlic begins to brown, about 1 minute.

    Step 3

    3. Add the tomatoes, beans, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Cook until the liquid is reduced and the soup is slightly thickened, a few more minutes.

    Step 4

    4. Serve, placing a slice of toast into each soup bowl or generously spooning the beans and broth right over the bread, if the kids will let you.
