Ingredients:
1/4 cup + 2 tb extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium Onions, coarsely chopped
3 Cloves garlic, minced
2 Ribs celery, coarsely chopped
3 lb Plum tomatoes, washed, stemmed, coarsely chopped
Salt
1 pinch Sugar (Optional)
3 Pieces day-old Italian bread, crusts removed
4 cup Hot meat broth
1/2 cup Fresh basil leaves, torn in strips
2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp Chopped fresh marjoram
6 small Fresh marjoram sprigs for garnish
Instructions:
Heat the oil, onions, garlic and celery in a soup pot over medium- low
heat, stirring occasionally, until golden (about 20 minutes). Add the
tomatoes and salt; cook, partially covered, until the tomatoes are
softened, about 20 minutes. If necessary, add a pinch of sugar to
balance the acidity of the tomatoes.

Put the bread in a small bowl and add 1 cup of hot broth to soften.
Mash the bread well with a wooden spoon. Add the softened bread and
remaining broth to the tomatoes, stirring well to completely dissolve
the bread. Simmer for about 30 minutes. Add the herbs during the
last 5 minutes of cooking. Pass the soup through the fine blade of a
food mill or puree in a food processor and strain.

Put the soup back in the soup pot and correct the seasoning. Simmer
for 10 minutes. Ladle into heated soup bowls and pour 1 teaspoon of
olive oil over each serving. Garnish with sprigs of fresh marjoram.

Serves 6 to 8.
