Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Peel the tomatoes

    Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems and cut a small cross in the bottom of each one. Drop them into boiling water for 30 seconds, then into cold water, so they peel easily.

  2. Cut the vegetables

    Finely chop the onion. Cut the peeled tomatoes into large chunks, removing the seeds if they're very juicy.

  3. Cook the onion

    Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in the saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes without browning.

    Tip · If the onion starts to stick, add a splash of water so it doesn't burn.

  4. Add the tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the saucepan with the onion. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring now and then.

  5. Add the broth

    Dissolve the bouillon cube in 500 ml of hot water, add it to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

  6. Blend the soup

    Take the saucepan off the heat and blend the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, push it through the fine mesh strainer.

  7. Toast the bread

    Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in the nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the slices of sandwich bread and toast them 2 minutes per side, until crisp.

  8. Make the toasts

    Take the ham out of the fridge and cut it into thin strips. Spread it over the toasted bread.

    Tip · For even tastier toasts, you can add a thin layer of cream cheese before the ham, but it's optional with the ingredients on hand.

  9. Serve the soup

    Ladle the soup into bowls. Tear the basil leaves and scatter them on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. Bread and wraps get soggy when they sit with the filling. Prep the filling ahead if you want, and put it together the day you eat it!
