Directions
In a pan over medium heat, add the EVOO and garlic cooking for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Toss in the bread chunks and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and crunchy (about 5–7 minutes). Set aside.
Heat the Basil Olive Oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened. Deglaze with Neapolitan Herb Balsamic then stir in the tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Blend in batches until smooth. Return to the pot, stir in the heavy cream, and bring back to a gentle boil. Lower heat and simmer for another 20 minutes.
Ladle into bowls, top with a swirl of cream, and a sprinkle of pangrattato.
