Roasted Tomato And Buttermilk Bisque Recipes

ROASTED TOMATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Combine the drained whole tomatoes, olive oil, brown sugar, carrots and shallots in a large bowl and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables on the baking sheet and roast until caramelized, about 30 minutes.
• Heat a soup pot over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until foaming. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, then add the sherry. Cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the alcohol has cooked off, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the roasted vegetables, crushed tomatoes and 1 cup chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a simmer and cook 15 minutes.
• Working in small batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to the pot and add more chicken stock to adjust the consistency to how you like it. Taste again and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with croutons.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Combine the tomatoes, olive oil, light brown sugar, carrots, shallots, garlic, dry sherry and some salt and pepper in a mixing bowl and toss to coat. Place the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet and roast until caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Heat a cast-iron Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until foaming. Add the crushed red pepper if using and the tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the roasted vegetables and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until uniform in texture with a slightly thick consistency. Stir in the heavy cream. For a smoother texture, transfer to a standard blender and puree until smooth. Taste and season if necessary. Serve and garnish with basil leaves and crushed black pepper.

ROASTED TOMATO AND BUTTERMILK BISQUE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to BROIL.
• Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and broil for 15 minutes or until tomato skin is blistered, turning every few minutes for even broiling.
• Put the tomatoes in a clean paper bag, seal and sweat for 15-20 minutes or until the skin has loosened.
• Once cool enough to handle, remove the skin and seeds and discard. Chop the tomatoes coarsely. Set aside.
• Warm the olive oil in a sauce pan over low-medium heat. Add the leeks, shallots, carrots and celery. Sauté the mixture, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are softened.
• Next add the roasted tomatoes and tomato puree. Sprinkle the flour on the tomatoes and stir to incorporate well.
• Add the stock, cover and simmer until slightly thickened, approximately 20 minutes.
• Once soup has been allowed to thicken, using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, the soup can be cooled and pureed in a food processor.) Stir in 2 tablespoons of the fresh basil.
• Transfer the soup to a non-reactive large serving bowl. (If you wish the soup can be pureed even further using a sieve and pressing the mixture into the bowl with the use of a wooden spoon).
• Cover soup and refrigerate until well chilled or serve hot.
• To serve, transfer the soup to individual bowls. Divide and add the buttermilk, lightly stirring in leaving a "swirling" effect on top of the soup serving.
• Garnish each serving with a few ribbons of fresh basil.
