5 Minute 2 Tomato Bisque Recipes

RESTAURANT STYLE TOMATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 4-quart saucepan. Add celery and onions.
• Allow the onions and celery to cook for a few minutes until they turn semi-translucent.
• Add the flour to the pan to make a roux.
• Let the roux mixture cook for 5-7 minutes over low heat (the flour should begin to smell a little like bread).Don't let the roux get dark or burn.
• Heat the stock in another saucepan.
• Add the stock to the roux, using a wire whip, and mix well.
• Add the tomatoes and seasonings and allow to simmer for 15- 20 minutes.
• If you have an immersion blender after the bisque has simmered, use your immersion blender to puree as much of the product as possible. You can also transfer it to a food processor or blender, just be very careful with the hot bisque.
• After you have either used an immersion blender or food processor, strain your bisque to remove all the bits and pieces of celery, onions, and tomatoes.
• Return the bisque to the pot and add the heavy cream and fold in the shredded cheddar.
• At this time if the bisque appears to thick you can either add more vegetable stock, milk, or just plain water.
• Taste the soup and re-season if necessary, then allow the soup to simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
