Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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

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.

CREAMY TOMATO BASIL BISQUE



Creamy Tomato Basil Bisque image

A bowl of creamy tomato basil bisque is the perfect comfort food to indulge in at the end of a long day, with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Provided by Shanna Mallon

Categories     Soup

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup lightly packed basil leaves
2 cups olive oil
8 large ripe red tomatoes
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian version)
1 tsp sugar
1 cup heavy cream, plus more for garnish
½ cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • To make the basil oil, puree basil leaves together with oil in a high-speed blender until smooth.
  • Strain through a fine mesh sieve or chinois twice. Do not press down on the mixture or you'll end up with a bitter note to the oil.
  • Let sit for 2 hours before storing in an airtight container. While the basil oil is resting, start on the soup.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. On the blossom end of each tomato (opposite the stem), score with an "X" with a paring knife. Add tomatoes to the boiling water.
  • Boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the water to a bowl filled with ice water. Remove the tomatoes from water and gently peel.
  • Remove the seeds from each tomato. Add tomato pieces to a large bowl. Add the seeds and goop that you remove to a sieve placed over the bowl of tomatoes. Mash the innards through a bowl to get all the flavor from those, without the seeds. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion, stirring occasionally until the onion has softened, approximately 7 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, chicken stock, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid reduces by one quarter, approximately 20 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and cool the mixture for about 10 minutes. Using a stick blender, puree the soup until it is smooth. If you don't have a stick blender, you can also use a blender or food processor, working in batches.
  • Bring the pureed soup to a simmer over medium heat, then add cream and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle into bowls, and garnish with an extra drizzle of heavy cream and basil oil.

  • Roast the tomatoes before pureeing them. This will concentrate their flavor and give the bisque a smoky, caramelized taste.
  • Use a high-quality broth. The broth is the base of the bisque, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is made with real vegetables and herbs, and avoid broths that are made with artificial flavors or preservatives.
  • Season the bisque to taste. The amount of salt, pepper, and other seasonings you add will depend on your personal preference. Taste the bisque as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
  • Serve the bisque with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for tomato bisque include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs. You could also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
