ROASTED YELLOW PEAR TOMATO, YELLOW PEPPER AND BASIL BISQUE
I realize not everyone can get those little yellow cherry or pear tomatoes. But if you can ... they are wonderful. A good friend grows them and I do as well, and the plants put out hundreds - trust me. Whole Foods often carries them, as well as many local farmers markets. It is worth trying this soup. Amazing!!

Steps:
- Tomatoes and Peppers -- Add the tomatoes and peppers to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or just sprayed with non stick spray like Pam. Drizzle with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano and toss lightly. Bake in a 400 degree oven until the peppers soften and to start to brown and the tomatoes just begin to pop. About 15-20 minutes.
- Broth Base -- As you roast the vegetables, start the base for the soup. In a large pot, add the olive oil, garlic and onion and saute on medium heat.
- Vegetables -- Add all the tomatoes to the onion mixture and add in 2 cups of the broth, and sherry wine. The peppers, you want to put in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. After 10 minutes, the skin should peel right off. Rough chop and add to the rest of the soup.
- Puree and Finish -- Use your immersion blender, or you can use a regular blender, and puree until smooth. I like to leave a little texture to mine. Return to the pot if using a regular blender. Season with salt and pepper, then add any additional broth if desired, and the cream. Bring to medium heat. Right before serving, check for seasoning one more time, and add in the fresh basil. I like lots of fresh ground pepper in mine.
- Enjoy this beautiful creamy pale yellow soup. It is sweet and fresh tasting, and it absolutely delish! I garnish mine with a toasted baguette slice with goat cheese.

ROASTED TOMATO-BASIL BISQUE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:
- After you get the tomatoes cut into halves, lay them out on a sheet pan, season with the kosher salt and pepper - then drizzle each with some of the olive oil. Roast in the oven at 400-degrees for 45-minutes or 20-minutes if you have a "convection oven". I use kitchen shears to cut the strips of bacon into small pieces and render those down on medium heat until cooked. After you get the desired doneness, pull bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings. Put in the onion, thyme, garlic and red pepper flake - season with salt/pepper. Allow to sauté until nice and caramelized. Pull the tomatoes from the oven and place into the stock pot along with the bay leaf and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a slow simmer and cook that way for 30-minutes. This is also the time to add the baking soda if you so choose. After the 30-minutes, add the cream and basil, then use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. You can use a standard blender if you in small batches (*warning, blending larger batches of hot liquids can have undesirable, scalding results) - to a blender and blend on high until smooth. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil and the bacon. I served mine with a toasted-cheese sandwich that I made using American Cheddar and a nice pugliese bread. Paired really nice with a 2010 Hartford Court "Four Hearts Vineyards" Chardonnay.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: To ensure the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice for this recipe, as they have a low water content and a concentrated flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes before blending: Roasting the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and intensifies their flavor. Roasting also helps to remove excess moisture, resulting in a thicker, more flavorful soup.
- Use fresh basil: Fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the soup. If you don't have fresh basil on hand, you can use dried basil, but be sure to use half the amount, as dried herbs are more concentrated.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the tomatoes: If you overcrowd the pan, the tomatoes will steam instead of roast. This will result in a watery soup. Roast the tomatoes in a single layer so that they have room to brown and caramelize.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is blended, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
Conclusion:
Roasted tomato basil bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. The roasted tomatoes give the soup a rich, flavorful broth, while the fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor. This soup is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, or you can stir in some cooked chicken or shrimp for a more hearty soup. No matter how you choose to make it, roasted tomato basil bisque is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
