1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 28oz cans whole, peeled tomatoes or 12 Roma tomatoes, peeled

Mash the basil well with 1/2 cup of the oil and season with salt
and pepper. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium-low heat. Cook the
garlic, red pepper and oregano just until the garlic begins to
sizzle. Crush the tomatoes with your hands over the stockpot,
including all juices. Add the water or stock and red wine. Bring to

bread and remove from heat. Serve immediately, drizzling the soup
