PIONEER WOMAN - TOMATO SOUP WITH SHERRY
This is my favorite recipe adapted from the Pioneer Woman. A decadent lunch! I tweaked it a little from her original: I reduced the sodium and fat by reducing the chicken base and butter, and changing the heavy cream to half-n-half. And I thought way more fresh basil was needed to make it taste spectacular.

Steps:
- In a soup pot, saute diced onion in butter until translucent.
- Decide how chunky you like your tomato soup. I like to process one of the cans of tomatoes briefly in the food processor to chop up the tomatoes more finely. You can process one or both or neither.
- To the pot, add canned tomatoes, tomato juice, sugar, chicken base or bouillon, and pepper and stir.
- Bring to a near boil, then turn off heat.
- Add sherry and half-n-half or cream and stir.
- Add parsley and basil. (or, you can save the basil to sprinkle on top of each bowl of soup). Add salt & pepper if needed to your taste.
- Top with croutons if desired.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your bisque the best possible flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmer's market.
- Roast the tomatoes before making the bisque. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them even sweeter. You can roast the tomatoes in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 30 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
- Use a good quality sherry. A dry sherry is best for this recipe. A good quality sherry will add a subtle nutty flavor to the bisque.
- Don't overcook the bisque. The bisque should be simmered for just a few minutes, until it is heated through. Overcooking the bisque will make it lose its flavor.
- Serve the bisque with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for tomato bisque include croutons, grated cheese, and fresh herbs. You can also serve the bisque with a side of crusty bread.
Conclusion:
Sherry tomato bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The combination of roasted tomatoes, sherry, and cream creates a rich and flavorful soup that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give sherry tomato bisque a try. You won't be disappointed!
