Preparation steps

1.
For the soup, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a moderate heat. Saute the red pepper, minced garlic and tomato for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2.
Add the passata, sugar and vegetable stock, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
3.
Remove the soup from the heat when ready and puree using a stick blender until smooth. Pass through a sieve into a clean saucepan. Adjust the seasoning as necessary and keep warm over a very low heat.
4.
When ready to serve, heat the olive for the croutons in a large frying pan over a moderate heat.
5.
Saute the cubed bread for 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until golden brown all over. Remove from the heat and season well.
6.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls and scatter a few croutons on the surface. Garnish with chopped chives, garlic cloves and a few chive stalks before serving.
