tomato bisque soup recipe

The cream in this tomato bisque recipe is what takes if from being plain old tomato soup and changes it into something a little more special: Tomato Bisque.  This is an easy soup recipe that is perfect during the cold months.

Ingredients

  • 28 oz. crushed tomatoes
  • 32 oz. chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

  • In a large pot over medium high heat add the olive oil and the onions cooking the onions until they begin to soften, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic to the onions and continue to cook for a couple more minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and chicken broth to the pot, stirring until everything is thoroughly combined.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and cook for 30 min – 1 hour.
  • When the soup has finished cooking use an Immersion Blender to blend the ingredients together until the soup is smooth.
  • Stir in the heavy creamy.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste.

Serve in soup cups and top with garlic or other seasoned croutons, or with a few saltine crackers on the side.

Note: you can omit the cream and it becomes tomato soup instead of tomato bisque (although, unless you have an allergy to dairy products, I can’t see any reason to do so!)
