Pappa Al Pomodoro | Tomato Bread Soup

Hope you all had great start of year, I wanted to start this year with a sweet note but then I changed my mind and thought of having a healthy start with this easy and delicious soup.  Pappa al pomodoro or tomato bread soup is one of my favorite and I always make this when I bake my wheat bread, last part of bread always transform into this delicious soup. 

I wanted to post this recipe for years now but never manage until I made this recently for lunch with not home made bread instead I used white & multigrain breads.  You can try this soup with any bread of your choice.   This makes delicious, healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner and if you try once you will sure love this filling soup, the plus point if you have stale bread use it for this recipe and it's a perfect winter soup - filling, warm and comfort ..what say?
