Categories     Soup

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup celery (small dice)
1 cup onions (small dice)
¼ lb unsalted butter (8 tablespoons (1 stick))
½ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups vegetable stock ((or chicken stock if you prefer))
6 cups whole plum tomatoes including juice (canned) (San Marzano if possible)
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp sea salt (add more to taste.)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (*add more if you like a cheesier soup)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a 4-quart saucepan. Add celery and onions.
  • Allow the onions and celery to cook for a few minutes until they turn semi-translucent.
  • Add the flour to the pan to make a roux.
  • Let the roux mixture cook for 5-7 minutes over low heat (the flour should begin to smell a little like bread).Don't let the roux get dark or burn.
  • Heat the stock in another saucepan.
  • Add the stock to the roux, using a wire whip, and mix well.
  • Add the tomatoes and seasonings and allow to simmer for 15- 20 minutes.
  • If you have an immersion blender after the bisque has simmered, use your immersion blender to puree as much of the product as possible. You can also transfer it to a food processor or blender, just be very careful with the hot bisque.
  • After you have either used an immersion blender or food processor, strain your bisque to remove all the bits and pieces of celery, onions, and tomatoes.
  • Return the bisque to the pot and add the heavy cream and fold in the shredded cheddar.
  • At this time if the bisque appears to thick you can either add more vegetable stock, milk, or just plain water.
  • Taste the soup and re-season if necessary, then allow the soup to simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced bacon (about 1/2 ounce)
1 Spanish onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 (28-ounce) can whole, peeled tomatoes (with liquid), roughly chopped
3 parsley sprigs
3 fresh thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
1 cup heavy cream
1 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp and most of the fat has rendered, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Lower the heat to medium, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • When the soup base is cool, remove and discard the herb bundle. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Using a sieve over a large bowl, strain the tomato puree. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.
  • Whisk the heavy cream and salt into the soup and season with pepper to taste. Divide among warm soup bowls, garnish with the crispy bacon, and serve immediately.

ROASTED TOMATO BISQUE

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Two 28-ounce cans whole tomatoes, drained of their juices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 shallots, quartered
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons dry sherry
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 to 2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the drained whole tomatoes, olive oil, light brown sugar, carrots and shallots, and toss to coat. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Place the vegetables on a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until caramelized, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat a soup pot over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until foaming. Add the crushed red pepper and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the sherry. Cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the alcohol has cooked off, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the roasted vegetables, crushed tomatoes and 1 cup chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the heavy cream and, using an immersion blender, puree the soup until uniform in texture. Add more chicken stock to adjust the consistency to how you like it.

Tips:

  • For a smoother bisque, use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the soup until it's completely smooth.
  • If you don't have any heavy cream on hand, you can use milk instead. However, the soup will be slightly thinner.
  • To make the soup more flavorful, you can add a pinch of dried thyme or oregano.
  • If you want a spicier bisque, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce.
  • For a more elegant presentation, you can garnish the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped chives, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

This creamy tomato bisque is the perfect comfort food for a cold day. It's easy to make and packed with flavor. You can enjoy it as is or serve it with a side of grilled cheese sandwiches or a salad.
