Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, dried basil, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Blending

  1. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending in batches.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Add Cream and Cheese

    Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Heat on low until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh basil, and serve hot.
