Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Tomatoes, diced (fresh or canned, unsweetened)
- 2 cups Chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil.
Sauté the chopped onion for 3-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Using an immersion blender, purée the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and gently heat the soup for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Avoid boiling after the cream is added.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve warm.
