After spending a week in Tuscany and having Pappa al Pomodoro I knew I had to make it for myself. I love how rich and thick it comes out! To the people who gave this recipe a low rating: Pappa al Pomodoro is a bread soup. IT IT SUPPOSED TO BE THICK LIKE PORRIDGE! The recipe states that it should have the consistency of baby food! It's one thing to give a bad review because you don't like a dish. But by giving a bad review because you didn't realize what you are making does a disservice to both the chef who created it and the people who are ACTUALLY looking to make this dish, but may be put off by a low rating.

Is there an error in this recipe. This was way too much bread. Prepared for dinner party -- added extra tomatoes to try to salvage.

Normally I love Michael's recipes, but this "soup" came out like bread pudding. I think the recipe is wrong. 3/4 pound of bread is way too much!!!! Maybe it is supposed to be this way, but if it is, then one has to acquire a taste for soup this thick.




YUMMY

Great flavors, fresh ingredients and a warm summer day make this dish a great addition to bbq favorites. Made the night before and served at room temperature made our bbq easier than ever. This is a keeper.

This recipe is easy and so delicious! I watched Michael prepare it on TV, then I prepared it myself. The flavors all come together to create a wonderful taste!

I let my italian bread sit for a few days after purchase. I used canned crushed tomato instead of fresh. It was too mushy for me. I would have rather made a soup and then dipped the bread into it. I kept adding chicken broth to it because the bread was soaking up the liquid to the point that it was mush. I will not be making this again.
