Ingredients for Tomato Bisque

Tomatoes: Choose a good quality brand of canned crushed tomatoes.

Vegetables: Sweet vegetables like onions, celery and carrots balance the acidity of the tomatoes and make the soup creamy. Other cooked vegetables you can add include red peppers, spinach, zucchini or sweet potatoes.

Base: I prefer the taste of chicken soup In this recipe, more vegetable broth is used than the others. However, if you prefer to make it vegetarian, you can use vegetable broth. The heavy cream adds richness.

Rice: Optional, but it adds body to the soup. If you wish, you can omit it entirely or use chopped leftover bread pieces.

Variations

Add mini meatballs, macaroni, shells or ditalini pasta to the recipe once mixed.

Homemade croutonsChopped fresh basil, thyme, parsley and Parmesan cheese are great garnishes for tomato soup.

How to preserve tomato soup

Leftover tomato soup can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If needed, reheat it on the stove with a little cream. Creamy tomato soup can be frozen in zip-top bags once it has cooled. Freeze the bags flat on a baking sheet in the freezer and then store them upright to save freezer space. Thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator and reheat it on the stove.

• In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic and cook until tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.

• Stir in broth, crushed tomatoes, rice, dried basil, salt, oregano, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered until rice and vegetables are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.

• Use an immersion blender or hand blender to blend the soup until smooth. Add the cream and simmer for 3 more minutes. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar if needed.

• Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

For a thinner soup, add more broth. For a thicker soup, cook uncovered for longer until thickened.
To replace instant rice, use ¼ cup white rice and simmer for 30 to 35 minutes or until tender.

• If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can blend the soup in batches using a regular blender. When using a regular blender, make sure to Do not seal the lid Otherwise, steam may build up and cause the lid to burst open. Leave the lid open just enough for the steam to escape.

This recipe makes approximately 8 cups of soup.
Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 4 days.
