Sun Dried Tomato and Fresh Oregano Soup
Overview
The sun dried tomatoes in this recipe make the flavor of the soup richer and deeper. You can use any fresh herbs if you don’t have oregano. The classic, basil, always works well. Like the panzanella (bread salad), this soup is also great with chunks of days old bread in soaking up the soup’s flavor and literally making it chewy.
