Creamy tomato bisque made with canned tomatoes, fresh vegetables, cream, and spices for a garden-fresh taste.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 0.5 cup diced celery
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (32 ounce) container chicken broth, or more as needed
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons uncooked jasmine rice
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
  • 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, divided
Instructions:
  • In a large pot over medium heat, sauté onion and celery in olive oil with a pinch of salt until onion is translucent, for 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Combine chicken broth, tomatoes, and onion mixture in a pot. Simmer the mixture, then season with paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat and mix in rice. Cook on low heat, skimming foam occasionally, until rice and vegetables are very tender, about 35 to 45 minutes. Finally, stir in sugar.
  • Smoothly blend soup in the pot with an immersion blender. Stir in 1/2 cup cream and season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sugar as desired. Adjust consistency by adding more broth if too thick or cook and stir for about 10 minutes if too thin until slightly thickened.
  • Serve the soup in warm bowls and add a swirl of cream on top, then sprinkle each with approximately 1 teaspoon of chopped basil.
