- 1 tablespoon sugar
For the roux:
- 1 tablespoon butter salted
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

- Lower heat to medium once soup begins to simmer. Let it cook for half an hour before removing the thyme and garlic.
- Lower heat to low and once soup begins to cool, gently blend with a hand immersion blender until the soup is creamy and has thickened.
- To make the roux, melt butter over medium high heat in a small pan. Once butter melts, add flour and cook for 2 minutes -stirring occasionally. Once flour cooks, slowly whisk in milk, and keep adding heavy cream until the roux is creamy and soft, like Greek yogurt. 1 tablespoon salted butter, 1 tablespoon all purpose flour, 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
- Gently pour in the roux mix to the tomato bisque, and whisk until tomato bisque thickens.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and black pepper, if desired. Top with fresh herbs, parmesan cheese or croutons.
