Instructions:

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely sliced leek and chili pepper, sautéing until the leek is tender and translucent.

-
Next, incorporate the chopped plum tomatoes, both fresh and canned, along with the fresh basil leaves. Stir well to combine the flavors.
-
Increase the heat slightly, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to simmer for about five minutes before adding the beef broth, ensuring all the ingredients are well integrated.

Season with salt to taste, and bring the soup back to a boil. Once boiling, add the thinly sliced bread, allowing it to absorb the delicious flavors.

Let the soup simmer for an additional ten minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and cover it, letting it sit for about one hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Just before serving, give the soup a good stir with a whisk to achieve a delightful texture, ensuring a hearty and flavorful experience.
