• Remove the seeds from each tomato. Add tomato pieces to a large bowl. Add the seeds and goop that you remove to a sieve placed over the bowl of tomatoes. Mash the innards through a bowl to get all the flavor from those, without the seeds. Set aside.

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.
