Tomato bisque is a creamy, rich soup bursting with sweet and tangy flavors of tomatoes.
Ingredients :
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion finely diced
2 ribs celery finely diced
1 small carrot finely diced
2 cloves garlic minced
3 cups chicken broth
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
⅓ cup instant rice
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon black pepper
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
Directions :
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic and cook until tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Stir in the broth, crushed tomatoes, rice, dried basil, salt, oregano, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook uncovered until the rice and vegetables are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Use an immersion blender or hand blender to blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the cream and simmer for 3 minutes more. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar if needed.
