32 oz vegetable broth
28 oz can of crushed Italian style tomatoes
1 cup cream or half and half
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
pesto
2 slices of sourdough or white bread
olive oil

1Begin by combining the broth and crushed tomatoes in a large pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then stir in the cream and reduce heat to low. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes and stir occasionally.
2While the soup is simmering, prepare the cheese toasts: Brush the bread with olive oil and toast in the oven, then add the cheese and broil until cheese melts. Set aside.

4Pour the soup into a large pitcher to make it easier to fill the shot glasses or espresso cups. Fill each shot glass, garnish with a few drops of pesto and cheese toasts.
