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.

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.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your bisque will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the bisque a smoky depth of flavor. Don't skip this step!
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your bisque. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the tofu: Tofu is a delicate protein that can easily be overcooked. Be careful not to boil the tofu, as this will make it tough and rubbery.
- Use a blender or food processor: A blender or food processor will help you create a smooth and creamy bisque. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can use a potato masher to mash the tofu and tomatoes until smooth.
- Season to taste: Once you've blended the bisque, taste it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Conclusion:
This tomato tofu bisque is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. The soup is creamy and flavorful, and the tofu adds a boost of protein. Serve the bisque with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
