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)
Provided by winefoot
Number Of Ingredients 14
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.
MEDITERRANEAN TOMATO BASIL BISQUE
We'd say this is more of a tomato soup than a bisque but it's delicious. It's so easy to make without any real prep work. Buttermilk adds a wonderfully rich flavor and texture to the tomato soup. Perfect if you are feeling under the weather or just want to sit on your couch with a cozy blanket. Bring on the grilled cheese!

TOMATO CARROT BASIL BISQUE
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.

REDUCE HEAT TO LOW AND SIMMER UNTIL STIGHTLY THICKENED, ABOUT 10 MINUTES. COOL SOUP SLIGHTLY. PUREE SOUP IN BATCHES IN BLENDED UNTIL SMOOTH. RETURN SOUP TO POT. STIR IN 3/4 CUP WATER AND LEMON JUICE; BRING TO SIMMER. SEASON WITH SALT AND PEPPER. DIVIDE SOUP AMONG 6 BOWLS. SPRINKLE WITH REMAINING CRAB AND 3 TBLS BASIL AND SERVE.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your bisque. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes that are bursting with sweetness and flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives them a smoky, caramelized taste. This step is essential for creating a rich, flavorful bisque.
- Use fresh basil: Fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the bisque. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will make the bisque bland and watery.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the bisque, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Season the bisque to taste: Once the bisque is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and additional herbs and spices. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
Conclusion:
This tomato basil bisque is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a warm and satisfying soup, give this tomato basil bisque a try!
