Tomato Carrot Basil Bisque image

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and added some additional ingredients. I tried to keep in mind the fat content. It's easy and I usually cook it in a crock pot. I have also used dried basil in place of fresh basil. I puree this soup using a hand held blender. Using this appliance, it maintains a chunky consistency. I would be interested in other ways to improve this recipe, as I have difficulty getting the basil flavor to stand out.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (11 1/2 ounce) can tomato cocktail juice
1 (8 ounce) bag baby carrots, chopped
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
20 fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips
1 cup fat-free half-and-half
1/4 cup low fat margarine
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 teaspoon brown sugar
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes, grape tomatoes, vegetable juice, carrots, brown sugar, and chicken broth.
  • Bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes (or longer if carrots are not tender).
  • Remove from heat, and stir in the basil. At this point, you may puree the soup if you wish. (I always puree.)
  • Add the cream and low fat margarine or butter; return to medium-low heat, and stir until butter is melted.
  • Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve immediately.

I found the soup to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to taste.
