RESTAURANT STYLE TOMATO BISQUE



Restaurant Style Tomato Bisque image

When it comes to Tomato Soup, Tomato Bisque is the King! And I can honestly say this will be one of the best Tomato soups you will ever have. Real tomatoes with ingredients you can trust, it doesn't get any better than that!

Provided by Chef Dennis Littley

Categories     Soup

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup celery (small dice)
1 cup onions (small dice)
¼ lb unsalted butter (8 tablespoons (1 stick))
½ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups vegetable stock ((or chicken stock if you prefer))
6 cups whole plum tomatoes including juice (canned) (San Marzano if possible)
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp sea salt (add more to taste.)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (*add more if you like a cheesier soup)

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!

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

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.

TOMATO BISQUE III



Tomato Bisque III image

This is a really fast and easy tomato soup recipe. My kids even liked it. I originally got it from a Food and Wine magazine, but I've tweaked it a little to suit my taste. The nutmeg makes the taste a little more complex.

Provided by SWEETJAM

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Cream Soup Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups chicken broth
2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained
3 tablespoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup heavy cream
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 1 minute longer, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth, tomatoes, sugar, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes until the vegetables are very tender.
  • Pour half to three-quarters of the soup into a blender-depending on how chunky you want it-filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup in the saucepan.
  • Return the pureed soup to the saucepan and stir in the cream. Cook over medium heat until the soup is hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

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 in color and have a slightly sweet aroma.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them whole or cut them into halves or quarters. Drizzle them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20-30 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your bisque, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of the two. If you're using canned broth, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Add some cream or milk: Cream or milk will help to make your bisque smooth and creamy. You can use heavy cream, half-and-half, or even milk. If you're using milk, you may want to thicken the bisque with a cornstarch slurry before adding it.
  • Season to taste: Once you've added all of the ingredients, be sure to taste the bisque and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Tomato bisque is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes.
