Spicy Tomato Bisque With Grilled Brie Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes and broth; bring to a boil and reduce to simmer.
• In the meantime, fry bacon until crisp, remove and reserve.
• Add olive oil, onions, celery, peppers and carrots to pan and sauté until tender; add garlic and sauté 2 minutes; add flour and cook 3 minutes, then puree mixture and add 3 cups of tomato mixture and puree until smooth.
• Incorporate 1 ladle of puree into tomato mixture at a time, add bacon, then puree entire soup.
• Add basil, thyme, and bay leaves and simmer 30 minutes, then remove bay leaf and thyme. Add milk and cream and season to taste.
• Use Tony Chacheres instead of salt if you like things spicy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven or a toaster oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread the Brie cheese onto two slices of bread, and top with remaining slices. Place on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 8 minutes, turning once halfway through. Cut in half, and set aside.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the tomato puree, red pepper flakes, black pepper, basil, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.
• Whisk in the cream cheese until well blended, then stir in the milk. Heat through without bringing to a boil. Stir in the fresh basil, and remove from the heat.
• To serve, place each sandwich half into a separate bowl. Ladle soup over each one into the bowl. Serve immediately.
