 This soup is literally left over panzanella salad. Add all the salad ingredients to a pot. Add sufficient liquid to be able to cook/simmer the soup for 20 minutes. Puree in batches. Eat room temperature or hot. Freezes well.
There are a variety of recipes for panzanella salad, with the basic ingredients being tomatoes and slightly stale bread cubes. The recipe tasting version included summer vegetables and was dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette. Vegetable broth was used for the broth.
