Tomato Bisque Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Tomatoes

   Add the San Marzano tomatoes to the pot, along with salt and black pepper. Stir and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down.

3. 3

   Blend the Mixture

   Using an immersion blender, puree the tomato mixture until smooth. If using a regular blender, allow it to cool slightly before blending in batches.

4. 4

   Incorporate Cream and Cheese

   Return the blended mixture to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and crumbled blue cheese until well combined. Heat gently until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Prepare the Toast

   While the bisque is heating, toast the slices of bread until golden brown.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the tomato bisque into bowls, top with green tomato chutney, and serve with toasted bread on the side. Garnish with fresh basil.
