Using an immersion blender, pureé soup until smooth. Keep warm over low heat.

Toast bread slices in the toaster oven. The second they come out, brush slices with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic and remaining salt and pepper. Set aside.

Add basil leaves to tomato pureé and let steep for 5 minutes over low heat. Remove leaves.
