This is a soup I came across in Quercy when I was dallying there in my youth, delighted by the dark eyes of a handsome young man. It is a good soup for spring and autumn, although in Quercy it is drunk during the tomato season. Their idea of cool summer nights was never mine.
Sauté the onions in the butter until they are golden. Add the garlic and the tomatoes and cook a little longer. Add the stock and herbs, season and stir in the aniseed. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 1 hour.
Place some slices of stale sourdough bread in the bottom of a tureen, or a round into the bottom of each individual bowl, then pour over the soup and serve.
