  • 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cans fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp. EVOO
  • 4 strips orange zest
  • pinch of saffron
  • bouquet garni with bay leaf, rosemary, thyme
  • 1 pinch fennel pollen
  • 1 small pinch sugar
  • pinch of cayenne
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chiffonade
  • 4 teaspoons (5 g. each) freshly grated parmigiano reggiano
  • 4 eggs

Preparation

Step 1

* Put everything except the eggs in the slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, adding enough chicken broth to achieve desired consistency.

* Remove and discard the orange zest and herbs. Divide into four servings, freezing in zip-lock bags.

* Reheat the soup over medium heat until hot. Stir in some fresh basil chiffonade if you have it. Poach an egg and place it in the bottom of a soup bowl, on top of a piece of good toasted bread (optional), and pour the soup around it. Grate a bit of good cheese over all and drizzle with some EVOO and serve.
