Stir-fry the bread, onion, garlic and rosemary for approx. 2 minutes. Take out 4 tablespoons of bread mixture. Put the tomatoes in the roaster. Season with salt, pepper and paprika and braise for about 15 minutes. After 5 minutes pour on broth. Wash basil and marjoram, shake dry and, except for some marjoram for garnishing, pluck leaves from the stalks, chop them and add to the soup. Finely puree the soup with a blender.
