Donna. This is a very interesting recipe. My mother and father used to make this same type of "tomato soup" when my sisters and I were growing up. It was a popular soup made for us during our lunch hour and sometimes as a soup course during our dinner hour. Italians love to use bread in their soups as a thickener which is why my parents added it to the soup. This soup is very tasty and satisfying especially during the upcoming colder months. David.
