Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds fresh plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons (about 2 sprigs) chopped fresh rosemary, plus additional sprigs for garnish
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 thick slice day-old Italian or French bread, torn into pieces
3 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade, plus more as needed
Creme fraiche or sour cream, as garnish
Pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • Using a grilling fork, roast tomatoes over medium-hot coals or on a gas grill until skins blacken and split; then peel, core, seed, and chop.
  • In a small stockpot over low heat, melt butter with oil. Add garlic and cook until golden. Add onion and cook until slightly softened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add carrots, celery, and 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover pot and cook until vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Do not allow to brown.
  • Increase heat to medium and add tomatoes. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture resembles a thick sauce. Add bread pieces and stock and bring to a simmer. Add sugar and remaining chopped rosemary. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  • Let soup cool for a few minutes, then puree in a blender until smooth. Thin with more stock if necessary. Adjust seasonings and serve hot, garnished with rosemary sprigs and creme fraiche or sour cream.

I've tried many tomato bisques before, but this one is by far the best. The addition of rosemary really elevates the flavor and makes it something special. I served it with a grilled cheese sandwich and it was the perfect comfort food meal.
