Tomato Bisque
Description
Tomato Bisque is a rich soup made by gently cooking diced onion, celery, and fragrant spices in olive oil until softened, then adding garlic before incorporating crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and a touch of sugar. After simmering to develop deep flavors, the bisque is blended until smooth and finished with heavy cream for richness. The seasoning with kosher salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne adds mild warmth without overpowering the sweetness of the tomatoes.
The bisque has a velvety texture and comforting warmth, suitable for serving as a starter or alongside crusty bread. The fresh garlic and basil infuse the soup with herbal notes, while the cream creates a smooth, luscious mouthfeel.
Garnishing with additional heavy cream and parsley enhances the appearance and adds a fresh touch. This bisque can be enjoyed on its own or paired with sandwiches for a simple meal.
