  • 1 large onion
  • 1 large shallot
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 large carrot

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300ºF and prepare a sheet tray with the vegetables in a single layer, drizzled with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Roast the vegetables for about three hours, checking after two hours for doneness.
  3. While the vegetables roast, toast the bread to dry it out without browning it.

  5. Season the soup with salt and crushed red pepper flakes, then add the basil and break one slice of bread into cubes.
  6. Puree the soup roughly, adding more bread if necessary for texture, and adjust consistency with additional water as needed.
  7. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.
