Tomato Bisque Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Sauté Vegetables

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

2. 2

   Add Tomatoes and Broth

   Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.

4. 4

   Add Cream and Seasoning

   Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in heavy cream, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Heat through but do not boil.

5. 5

   Serve

   Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve with crusty bread on the side.
