Fresh Tomato Basil Bisque Soup Food

TOMATO BISQUE SOUP

Steps:

• Warm oil over medium high heat in a pot. Add in salt, thyme, garlic, and basil. Let it cook for a minute before adding the remaining soup ingredients.
• Lower heat to medium once soup begins to simmer. Let it cook for half an hour before removing the thyme and garlic.
• Lower heat to low and once soup begins to cool, gently blend with a hand immersion blender until the soup is creamy and has thickened.
• To make the roux, melt butter over medium high heat in a small pan. Once butter melts, add flour and cook for 2 minutes -stirring occasionally. Once flour cooks, slowly whisk in milk, and keep adding heavy cream until the roux is creamy and soft, like Greek yogurt.
• Gently pour in the roux mix to the tomato bisque, and whisk until tomato bisque thickens.
• Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt, if desired.
• Top with fresh herbs, cheese or croutons.

FRESH TOMATO BASIL BISQUE SOUP

Steps:

• In a big soup pot, pour in the olive oil with the stove heat set to low.
• Add the onions and carrots to saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and saute for one more minute.
• For the tomatoes, I blanch them, let them cool, then remove the peels and stem/cores.
• Place the peeled tomatoes into a food mill (on top of a medium/large bowl to catch the juice) and turn them around until all of the seeds remain inside the mill and all of the tomato puree comes out into a bowl.
• (I do this for about half of my tomatoes because it is so tiring; the seeds don't damage the flavor).
• Pour all of the tomato puree and juice into the big soup pot.
• Add the basil, sugar, salt and pepper, and chicken broth. Stir.
• Cook on very low (with a sheet pan underneath the pot to prevent burning), for about 45 minutes.
• Taste and add whatever you prefer.
• Add the cream and heat up if you prefer cream of tomato soup.
