• Grill the sandwiches on the panini grill for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Place on a cutting board, allow to rest for 1 minute and cut into 1-inch cubes.

Steps:

• In a stockpot, over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and gently boil for about 20 minutes to blend all of the flavors. Remove from heat and run the mixture through a food mill into a large bowl, or pan. Discard any stuff left over in the food mill.
• In the now empty stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking until the roux is a medium brown. Gradually whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture, so that no lumps form, then stir in the rest. Season with sugar and salt, and adjust to taste.

Steps:

• Firstly, prepare your vegetables. You need 1-1.25kg/2lb 4oz-2lb 12oz ripe tomatoes. If the tomatoes are on their vines, pull them off. The green stalky bits should come off at the same time, but if they don't, just pull or twist them off afterwards. Throw the vines and green bits away and wash the tomatoes. Now cut each tomato into quarters and slice off any hard cores (they don't soften during cooking and you'd get hard bits in the soup at the end). Peel 1 medium onion and 1 small carrot and chop them into small pieces. Chop 1 celery stick roughly the same size.
• Spoon 2 tbsp olive oil into a large heavy-based pan and heat it over a low heat. Hold your hand over the pan until you can feel the heat rising from the oil, then tip in the onion, carrot and celery and mix them together with a wooden spoon. Still with the heat low, cook the vegetables until they're soft and faintly coloured. This should take about 10 minutes and you should stir them two or three times so they cook evenly and don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Holding the tube over the pan, squirt in about 2 tsp of tomato purée, then stir it around so it turns the vegetables red. Shoot the tomatoes in off the chopping board, sprinkle in a good pinch of sugar and grind in a little black pepper. Tear 2 bay leaves into a few pieces and throw them into the pan. Stir to mix everything together, put the lid on the pan and let the tomatoes stew over a low heat for 10 minutes until they shrink down in the pan and their juices flow nicely. From time to time, give the pan a good shake - this will keep everything well mixed.
• Slowly pour in the 1.2 litres/ 2 pints of hot stock (made with boiling water and 4 rounded tsp bouillon powder or 2 stock cubes), stirring at the same time to mix it with the vegetables. Turn up the heat as high as it will go and wait until everything is bubbling, then turn the heat down to low again and put the lid back on the pan. Cook gently for 25 minutes, stirring a couple of times. At the end of cooking the tomatoes will have broken down and be very slushy looking.
• Remove the pan from the heat, take the lid off and stand back for a few seconds or so while the steam escapes, then fish out the pieces of bay leaf and throw them away. Ladle the soup into your blender until it's about three-quarters full, fit the lid on tightly and turn the machine on full. Blitz until the soup's smooth (stop the machine and lift the lid to check after about 30 seconds), then pour the puréed soup into a large bowl. Repeat with the soup that's left in the pan. (The soup may now be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost before reheating.)
• Pour the puréed soup back into the pan and reheat it over a medium heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally until you can see bubbles breaking gently on the surface. Taste a spoonful and add a pinch or two of salt if you think the soup needs it, plus more pepper and sugar if you like. If the colour's not a deep enough red for you, plop in another teaspoon of tomato purée and stir until it dissolves. Ladle into bowls and serve. Or sieve and serve chilled with some cream swirled in. For other serving suggestions, see opposite.

Steps:

• Small bunch fresh basil, optional
• For the breadsticks: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F with a rack in the upper third of the oven. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl, w. Add the yogurt and oil and mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until the surface is smooth and the dough is homogeneous, 1 to 2 minutes. If the dough is very sticky, knead in an additional tablespoon of flour at a time. Flatten into a disk and divide into 8 wedges.
• Lightly spray your work surface and hands with nonstick cooking spray to make rolling easier. Roll each wedge into a 6-inch rope and place on the sheet pan, spacing the breadsticks evenly apart.
• Bake in the upper third of the oven until springy to the touch and golden, 20 to 22 minutes, rotating the pan front to back halfway through. Switch the oven to broil and broil until desired level of golden brown is achieved, 30 to 60 seconds. This will happen quickly! Remove the breadsticks from the oven.
• While the breadsticks bake, prepare the soup: Melt the butter (or heat the oil) in a medium Dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and a few pinches of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are coated and a fiery orange color, about 1 minute. Add the flour and stir to coat the onions, allowing the flour to cook for about 1 minute.
• Toss the garlic into the onions and immediately add the tomatoes and their juice, the broth, yogurt and sugar if using. Season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, then pour into a large heatproof bowl. Return the blended soup to the Dutch oven.)
• Reduce to a simmer, check for seasoning and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, while the breadsticks finish baking.
• Finish the breadsticks: Place the butter, garlic and salt in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the garlic just begins to sizzle. Immediately remove from the heat (don't allow the garlic to brown) and brush the garlic butter over the just-baked breadsticks and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Serve the breadsticks with the soup, garnishing the soup with torn basil leaves, if desired.
