Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
3 ounces pancetta, chopped |
1 small onion, chopped |
3 (3/4-inch-thick) slices rustic rye bread (each about 5 3/4 by 3 3/4 inches), cubed |
6 cups canned low-salt chicken broth |
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices |
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes |
salt and freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese |
1/4 cup sour cream |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the bread and toss to coat with the pan drippings. Saute until the bread is crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, tomatoes, basil, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the flavors blend, about 10 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper.
2. Stir the mascarpone and sour cream in a small bowl to blend. Ladle the soup into bowls. Spoon a dollop of the mascarpone mixture atop the soup and serve.
