This is my favorite way to eat tomato soup. I discovered the canned fire-roasted tomatoes a few years ago, and instantly fell in love with them. They make the best soups and sauces.
Yield: Serves 4
Fire Roasted Tomato Basil Bisque
Ingredients:
- 1 – 28 oz can tomato sauce
 - 2 – 14 oz cans fire roasted tomatoes
 - 1 large bunch fresh basil, torn
 - 1 quart chicken or vegetable stock
 - 1/4 cup cornstarch
 - 1/2 cup water
 - 1 cup milk
 - 3 tablespoon sugar
 - salt and pepper
 - 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
 - 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
 - olive oil
 
Directions:
1. Preheat large soup pot. Drizzle with olive oil. Add onions. Saute over medium heat until translucent. Add garlic and saute for just a minute more. Add tomato sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes, vegetables stock, sugar to pot. Salt and pepper soup to taste.
2. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 15 – 20 minutes. Combine 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. Mix to combine. Add to soup and bring to a simmer. Soup will thicken. Add milk and basil. Heat through, but don’t boil again. Turn heat off and serve.
