Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Pour in the canned whole tomatoes (including their juice) and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add the chopped fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Blend the Soup

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

  2. 7

    Add Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and mix until fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve hot.
