Add tomatoes, cover, and cook until tomatoes release juices, about 10 minutes. Uncover; cook until juices evaporate, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Add broth and 1 Tbsp Tuscan Villa. Partially cover pot and simmer until mixture reduces, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes longer. Cool soup for 15 minutes.
