Oliver told "GMA" he wanted to bottle his experiences from his TV series and plate it up for this book and home cooks.

"Keep the shopping list really low. Keep it easy. Focus on flavors and technique and really nice quick meals that you can have for breakfast, lunch or dinner," he said.

First up he shared this hearty soup that's perfect for a winter weeknight meal.

"Thick bread soups are common all around Italy, but the baked versions really stand out for me -- a real family favorite that everyone loves because it leaves you feeling warm, cozy and fulfilled," Oliver wrote alongside this recipe.

Serves 6

Total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

3 mixed-color peppers

3 cloves of garlic

Three 14-ounce cans of plum tomatoes

10-ounce ciabatta loaf (stale)

8 ounces ricotta cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Seed the peppers and chop into 1/4-inch chunks, then place in a large casserole pan on a medium heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

Peel and finely slice the garlic, add to the pan, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, or until the peppers are soft and sweet, stirring regularly and adding splashes of water, if needed. Scrunch in the tomatoes through clean hands and pour in 2 cans-worth of water.

Bring to a boil while you slice the ciabatta 1/2-inch thick. Stir the bread into the soup, then spoon over the ricotta and bake for 25 minutes, or until crisp on top and bubbling around the edges.

Season to perfection, then divide between warm bowls and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, if you like.
