Tomato Bisque Recipe

In my mind, there is no better way to warm up on a cozy, autumn night than with homemade soup! Everyone makes the classic chicken noodle, but I bet no one told you it is just as easy to make a slightly more ~flavorful~ soup. Here is the recipe I use to make tomato bisque at home:

Ingredients:

• 6 large tomatoes
• Half of an onion
• 3 tbsp Minced garlic
• 2 tbsp basil
• Avocado oil
• Salt and pepper
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 can tomato paste
• 1 tbsp white sugar
• 2 tbsp oregano
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• Shredded cheese of choice (to top)

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Chop up the tomatoes and onion, and place in a large oven-safe dish.
3. Coat the chopped up veggies with a little avocado oil, basil, salt, and pepper.
4. Let the vegetables bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
5. Move the vegetables into a blender or food processor, and completely blend into a liquid.
6. Pour this blended liquid into a stock soup pot.
7. In the soup pot, add in the chicken broth, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, basil, and minced garlic onto the stovetop. 
8. Stir until boiling. 
9. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and put the top on the pot for 10 minutes.
10.  After 10 minutes, remove the pot lid and remove the pot from heat.
11.  Pour in your heavy whipping cream and mix.
12.  Top with your choice of shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. You could also pair it with grilled cheese!
13.  Enjoy!
