Cook the garlic in olive oil over medium heat for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the tomato puree and simmer for 20 minutes.
Tear the stale bread into large pieces and add it to the tomato pot.
Add the hot water and cook the bread for 10 minutes, crushing it with a spoon to thicken the soup.
Add the basil at the last moment, drizzle with olive oil, and serve warm or hot.
💡 Tip: Add the bread during the last 10 minutes; it should break down fully without dulling the bright tomato flavor.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil and basil on top.
