5 cups homemade Chicken Broth or a mix of half store-bought broth and half water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1 1/2 cups peeled, seeded and chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 pounds zucchini, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups day-old Italian or French bread cubes
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

1 Prepare the broth, if necessary. Then, pour the oil into a large pot. Add the onion, garlic, rosemary, and sage. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is golden, about 10 minutes.

2 Add the tomatoes and stir well. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the zucchini and cook 30 minutes or until tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3 Stir in the bread cubes. Cook until the bread is soft, about 10 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes more before serving. Serve with grated Parmigiano- Reggiano.
