~ Pappa al Pomodoro (with tofu)

Modified from:
Dinner Tonight and Sparkpeople

Description:
Tuscan tomato bread soup, with a tofu and parsley twist :)

Ingredients:
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
Handful of red and green peppers
150 g silken tofu, mashed (optional)
1 piece of stale wholemeal bread, cubed
1 tbsp parsley, chopped (to taste)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions:
1. Bring everything to boil except bread. Simmer till the onions are translucent (if you can see any), and stir in the parsley. Try to mash up any chunks, or puree the soup before returning to boil.
2. Take off the stove and stir in bread cubes, or just dip the bread in soup.

Remarks:
Disclaimer: The recipes I provide are based on what I used to make the dish and I'm not responsible for ruining the taste of any traditional recipe. For true-blue authentic recipes, please refer to the source stated under "Modified from" or "Adapted from". =]

In this case, I've substituted the basil that the original recipe called for with parsley and also thrown in some tofu to jack up the protein content and to thicken the soup. The results? Lip-smacking good. (though I had to cover my mouth the whole day)

Ended breakfast with a finale - fruit cocktail with a generous heap of smooth Thepprasit honey:
