Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for toast and drizzling
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced, plus one clove for toast
- Pinch hot red pepper flakes
- 1 28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes, coarsely chopped, with juice
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices rustic bread
- Shredded basil, for garnish (optional)
Directions
-
In a straight-sided skillet over medium
heat, cook the oil, garlic, and pepper
flakes until garlic is just beginning to turn
golden, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes,
water, salt, and pepper. -
Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 10 minutes.
-
Crack one egg into a small bowl. Carefully
lower edge of bowl into simmering liquid,
allowing egg to slip into pot. Repeat with
remaining eggs. Cover pot and cook until
whites are cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. -
Meanwhile, brush bread with oil and
broil until golden; rub with garlic. Place
one slice in each of four shallow bowls;
sprinkle with basil. Spoon soup and poached
eggs over toast, drizzle with a little more
oil, and serve immediately.
And... I hate garlic, so I replaced it with a minced shallot. Worked like a charm. Just as tasty.
Oh so good. I added a pinch of dried thyme, rosemary, and one bay leaf. I also ran it through the food processor for 30-seconds. This is a a keeper.
This was SUCH an amazing dish! A total surprise! I actually added some fresh Rosemary to the tomato sauce for a little added flavour. I also used the garlic thinly chopped and then removed most of it before serving. It was easy and everyone loved it and actually wanted seconds. Will absolutely make this again! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!

Russell's Wednesday Dinner
Nutritious and Delicious!
This soup is incredibly easy. I blended half of it so it looks more creamy. I also only added 2 cups of water instead of 3. It is so simple and quick and healthy. will def make this a lot I think!
This soup is fantastic, it is simple and the flavors are strong and complimentary...I served it with a mixed greens salad and extra bread for dipping for a light summertime dinner. I rarely serve a meal without meat and this satisfied everyone in my family
