Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
1 (12 ounce) cans whole tomatoes
salt and black pepper
1/4 cup water
1/3 loaf bread, day old Tuscan
20 fresh basil leaves, torn

Directions:
In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil and crushed garlic.
When the garlic flavors infuse oil, add the red pepper flakes being careful not to burn them.
Add the whole can of tomatoes into the pot, then using a spatula cut the tomatoes into chunks.
Add salt and ground black pepper, to taste.
(Remember, bread chunks will be added to this so make it a bit saltier then you would like it to be.)
Add water and stir.
With your hands, pull the bread into bite-sized chunks, then add them to the pot.
“Toss” (do not stir) bread chunks in to the soup.
Add basil leaves.
Serve hot and enjoy!
