  • Total Time

    10 minutes

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

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

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
  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.

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.

  • This was a pretty tasteless dish. Also, too, too much tomato!

  • This is great for such a simple recipe. It's not mind-blowing or anything, but very satisfying and nutritious and budget-conscious to boot. We'll definitely make it again. My husband LOVED it.

  • I loved this recipe because it was so simple and quick. I let it stand for several hours before serving to let the flavors mature. I will make this often for an easy, healthy weeknight meal.

  • So, this was pretty average, why not just use stewed tomatoes for a little more flavor. I added spinach, basil, red wine and red pepper flakes after sampling the recipe as written. My 2 day old garlic bread added the most flavor. If you love tomatoe sauce you will probably like this.

  • Incredibly easy and quite delicious. I added a handful of red pepper flakes and garlic on the toasts. Probably the easiest meal I've throw together in ages.
