Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and prepare the stock.
- Slice the onion into half rings and crush or mince the garlic.
- Slice the carrot into thin crescents and cut the tomato into wedges.
- Heat half of the olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Fry the onion and garlic for 2 minutes.
- Add the carrot, tomato, Sicilian herbs and tomato paste and fry for 2 minutes.
- Add the honey and the stock, then allow to simmer for 12 - 15 minutes over low heat.
- Meanwhile, cut the bread into slices of around 1cm thickness. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with the rest of the olive oil.
- Bake in the oven for 6 - 8 minutes, then top with the pesto.
- Take the soup off the heat and add half of the Grana Padano.
- Use an immersion blender to process into a smooth soup, adding a splash of warm water as necessary if the soup is too thick.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper.
- Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with the rest of the Grana Padano.
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil as preferred.
- Serve the bruschetta alongside.
