Tomato Cheese Bisque Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in large saucepan on medium heat. Add carrots, onions, celery and garlic; stir. Cook 5 min. or until vegetables are lightly browned, stirring frequently. Add flour; mix well. Cook and stir 1 min.
• Add broth, pasta sauce, tomatoes, tomato paste and sugar; mix well. Bring just to boil on medium heat, stirring frequently; simmer, partially covered, on medium-low heat 15 min. or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
• Blend half the soup in blender until smooth; return to saucepan. Stir in whipping cream; cook 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
• Add pepper and remaining butter; stir until butter is completely melted and mixture is well blended.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and celery with a pinch of salt until onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour chicken broth and tomatoes into onion mixture. Bring to a simmer and season with paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Turn heat to low and stir rice into soup; skim foam occasionally and simmer until rice and vegetables are very tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Add sugar.
• Blend soup with an immersion blender in the pot until smooth. Whisk 1/2 cup cream into soup and adjust levels of salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and sugar. If soup is too thick, add more broth; if soup is too thin, cook, stirring often, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Ladle into warmed bowls; garnish each bowl with a drizzle of cream and top with about 1 teaspoon chopped basil.

Steps:

• Put oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add garlic and ginger and sauté until just fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion and continue cooking until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, sugar, salt, chile flakes, cayenne and 1 cup water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes or until flavors have melded. Using an immersion blender, purée soup until smooth. Add goat cheese and stir well until mixture is creamy but with a few evident crumbles of cheese. Ladle into bowls and serve.
