SPICY TOMATO BISQUE WITH GRILLED BRIE TOAST
Nothing's more comforting than grilled cheese and tomato soup. This is a gussied-up version, with grilled Brie cheese sandwiches and spiced tomato bisque with basil. As the soup soaks into the sandwich, break into pieces with your spoon and ladle up with the soup.

SPICY TOMATO BISQUE
This is my first tomato bisque. I have never even tasted one, but I love every other bisque and decided to try one. I made several changes to a food network recipe and another recipe, combining what I thought might be the best flavors. Use Tony Chacheres instead of salt if you like things spicy. I do! Top with chives, slivers of fresh basil, fresh chopped tomatoes and croutons.

HOW TO MAKE TOMATO BISQUE
You don't need a whole basket of vine-ripened tomatoes to make a delicious tomato bisque. We're going to use canned tomatoes. Rice makes this soup silky, not starchy.

SPICY TOMATO-COCONUT BISQUE WITH SHRIMP AND MUSHROOMS
A full-bodied, mildly spiced tomato soup with sweetness and depth from roasted red peppers, this is a tasty base for lightly poached shrimp or pieces of any firm white fish. The gingery, herbed mushroom gets with a citrusy lift from makrut lime leaves, ensuring this dish is packed with flavor. As a substitute, lime zest will work in a pinch. Serve over steamed rice or dig in with torn pieces from a crusty loaf of bread.

Steps:
- Add the whole peeled tomatoes and their juices and the roasted red peppers to a food processor or blender and purée until smooth.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add the mushrooms and cook without stirring until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and lime leaves. (If using zest, don't add it yet.) Cook until garlic is softened and lime leaves fragrant, about 2 minutes. Move the mushroom mixture to a bowl. Season with salt and stir in a drizzle of oil. Add lime zest, if using, and scallions. Toss and set aside.
- Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the pot and heat over medium. Sauté the shallots until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, cook until it darkens and begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, about 2 minutes. Stir in the puréed tomato mixture, coconut milk, chile and 1 cup water. Scrape the bottom of the pot with your spatula to remove any paste stuck to the bottom. Simmer, uncovered, to allow flavors to meld and sauce to reduce slightly, about 20 minutes. Season with salt.
- Add the shrimp (or pieces of fish) and cook until just opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Remove and discard the chile.
- Divide soup and shrimp (or fish) among bowls filled with steamed rice. Discard lime leaves, then combine the fresh herbs with the mushrooms and top stew with spoonfuls of the herby mix. Drizzle with more olive oil and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your bisque. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Roast the tomatoes before cooking. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives the bisque a smoky depth of flavor.
- Use a high-quality chicken broth. The chicken broth is the base of the bisque, so make sure to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and has a rich chicken taste.
- Add a touch of cream or milk. Adding a touch of cream or milk to the bisque will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Season the bisque to taste. Taste the bisque and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or chili powder.
- Serve the bisque with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for tomato bisque include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, or a swirl of heavy cream.
Conclusion:
Tomato bisque is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its rich, creamy texture and tangy flavor, tomato bisque is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
