Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are lightly browned and softened, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, parsley, and basil and cook until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add the water, tomatoes, and 2 tsp of kosher salt. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low, cover the dutch oven and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes. Season the soup with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Lay a slice of the stale or toasted bread into each bowl. Ladle soup into the bowls over the bread and top with the freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
