"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
salt and pepper

Directions:

Heat a medium soup pot over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, garlic and 3/4 of the onion. Cook 7 to 8 minutes, then add tomatoes and crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.

Add stock and raise heat to make the soup bubble. Reduce heat to simmer and add beans. Stir soup as it simmers until it thickens.

Turn off heat, adjust seasonings and ladle into shallow bowls. Top with grated cheese, an additional drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, a spoonful of reserved finely chopped raw onions and torn basil leaves.


The original recipe is from Rachel Ray (one of my favorites) and involves stirring in pieces of torn, stale bread with the beans. As most cooks do, I've tweaked the recipe to my liking!
