- Garlic 3 cloves

- Mild Chili Spice 1 piece

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a deep saucepan, sauté the leek until soft; if you are using the pepper, add the red chili pepper at the same time.
Step 2
Add the tomatoes and most of the basil leaves. Keep on heat for 5–10 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring back to a boil.
Step 4
Add the pieces of bread and keep on heat for 2 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit for an hour.
Step 6
Thoroughly mix, pour into bowls, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with basil (remember that if the leaves are chopped, they will lose some aroma; they should be torn by hand). Add crushed garlic to taste.
