• Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 10 minutes.
• Crack one egg into a small bowl. Carefullylower edge of bowl into simmering liquid,allowing egg to slip into pot. Repeat withremaining eggs. Cover pot and cook untilwhites are cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush bread with oil andbroil until golden; rub with garlic. Placeone slice in each of four shallow bowls;sprinkle with basil. Spoon soup and poachedeggs over toast, drizzle with a little moreoil, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add the tomato juice, water, basil, oregano, sugar and celery salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes; cook 10 minutes longer.

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil in a large, wide, heavy saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot enough to sizzle a bread cube, add all the bread cubes and saute until golden, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and a grinding of pepper and set aside.
• 2. Discard the oil in the pan and wipe the pan dry with a paper towel. Add the bacon to the pan and cook, stirring, over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the onion, reduce the heat to medium-low and saute until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute for 1 minute more.
• 3. Place a food mill over the saucepan and puree th etomatoes and their juices directly into the pan. (Or, if you do not have a good mill, puree in a food processor and press through a strainer, using a rubber spatula; discard the solids.) Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 20 minutes. Season to taste. (The soup can be made up to 1 day ahead.)
• 4. Just before serving, break the eggs one at a time into a cup and slip them into the simmering soup, distributing them evenly. Cover and cook until the whites are setand the yolks are cooked to the desired doneness, 8 to 10 minutes.
• 5. Distribute the croutons among four soup bowls. Carefully ladle the eggs into the bowls, then ladle the soup on top. Top each serving with some of the parsley and cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan that has a lid, then soften the onions, chilli, garlic and coriander stalks for 5 mins until soft. Stir in the tomatoes and sugar, then bubble for 8-10 mins until thick. Can be frozen for 1 month.
• Using the back of a large spoon, make 4 dips in the sauce, then crack an egg into each one. Put a lid on the pan, then cook over a low heat for 6-8 mins, until the eggs are done to your liking. Scatter with the coriander leaves and serve with crusty bread.

Steps:

• Stir-fry the onions in the oil in a heavy, large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until soft and lightly browned. Add the tomatoes and garlic; cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove the cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick like paste. Add the broth, 3 tablespoons of the butter, the salt, peppers and sugar.
• Simmer, uncovered, for 1½ to 2 hours or until the flavors are blended.
• Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate until about 1 hour before serving. (Marcelle let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.).
• Bring the soup slowly to a simmer. Carefully break the eggs into the soup, spacing them evenly. Cover, and simmer slowly for 15 minutes, just long enough to poach the eggs.
• Meanwhile, brown the bread slices on both sides in the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in a large heavy skillet. Drain on paper towels.
• Ladle the soup into large, shallow soup bowls, including an egg with each portion. Garnish each bowl with two pieces of bread and a sprinkling of parsley.
