Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced onion
½ cup diced celery
1 pinch salt
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (32 ounce) container chicken broth, or more as needed
1 (28 ounce) can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
½ teaspoon paprika
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 tablespoons uncooked jasmine rice
1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
½ cup heavy whipping cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, divided
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided

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.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced bacon (about 1/2 ounce)
1 Spanish onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 (28-ounce) can whole, peeled tomatoes (with liquid), roughly chopped
3 parsley sprigs
3 fresh thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
1 cup heavy cream
1 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp and most of the fat has rendered, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Lower the heat to medium, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • When the soup base is cool, remove and discard the herb bundle. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Using a sieve over a large bowl, strain the tomato puree. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.
  • Whisk the heavy cream and salt into the soup and season with pepper to taste. Divide among warm soup bowls, garnish with the crispy bacon, and serve immediately.

SPICY TOMATO-COCONUT BISQUE WITH SHRIMP AND MUSHROOMS



Spicy Tomato-Coconut Bisque With Shrimp and Mushrooms image

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.

Categories     dinner, lunch, seafood, soups and stews, vegetables, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (14-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
8 ounces mixed fresh mushrooms, such as oyster, maitake or shiitake, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 4 loose cups)
2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
2 fresh makrut lime leaves (or 1 tablespoon lime zest)
Kosher salt
1/4 cup sliced scallions
2 shallots, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (13-ounce) can coconut milk
1/2 red habanero chile, seeds removed
1 pound large (tail-on) shrimp, peeled and deveined (or 1 pound any firm white fish, such as halibut, cut into 2-inch pieces)
Steamed white or brown rice, for serving
1 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as cilantro, mint, basil and dill

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.

SPICY TOMATO BISQUE



Spicy Tomato Bisque image

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.

Provided by Heartsong

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 5 quarts, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 quarts fresh tomatoes, chopped
8 cups chicken broth
1 piece bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons flour
2 onions, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 banana peppers, chopped
8 garlic cloves, pressed
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
6 sprigs thyme, tied together
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2-1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup 2% low-fat milk
1 cup whipping cream

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The better the quality of your tomatoes, the better your bisque will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives the bisque a smoky depth of flavor. If you don't have time to roast the tomatoes, you can also use canned diced tomatoes.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the bisque, so it's important to use a good quality broth. If you can, make your own vegetable broth using fresh vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The bisque should be simmered for just long enough to heat through and blend the flavors. Overcooking the soup will make it lose its fresh flavor.
  • Serve the bisque with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for tomato bisque include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Tangy tomato bisque is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed all year round. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion dinner party. With its rich, creamy texture and tangy flavor, tomato bisque is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
