Tomato Bisque III image

This is a really fast and easy tomato soup recipe. My kids even liked it. I originally got it from a Food and Wine magazine, but I've tweaked it a little to suit my taste. The nutmeg makes the taste a little more complex.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups chicken broth
2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained
3 tablespoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup heavy cream
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 1 minute longer, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth, tomatoes, sugar, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes until the vegetables are very tender.
  • Pour half to three-quarters of the soup into a blender-depending on how chunky you want it-filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup in the saucepan.
  • Return the pureed soup to the saucepan and stir in the cream. Cook over medium heat until the soup is hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

This tomato bisque is so easy to make, and it's absolutely delicious. I love the way the roasted tomatoes give the soup a smoky flavor. I also appreciate that this recipe doesn't use any heavy cream, so it's a bit lighter than other bisques. I've mad

I'm not a huge fan of tomato soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The soup is creamy, flavorful, and has a nice balance of sweetness and acidity. I also love the addition of basil and thyme, which gives the soup a fresh, herbaceous flavor. I'll def

This tomato bisque is a great way to warm up on a cold winter day. It's creamy, flavorful, and has a nice tang from the tomatoes. I served it with a grilled cheese sandwich, and it was the perfect comfort food meal.

This soup is delicious, but it's a lot of work. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out grainy. I think I might have blended it too much. Next time, I'll blend it less and see if that makes a difference.

This soup is a bit bland. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time. I also might try adding a bit of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too thick. I think I added too much cornstarch. Next time, I'll use less cornstarch and see if that makes a difference.
