A comforting and rich tomato bisque that warms you up on chilly days, combining sweetness of tomatoes with fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 2 sprigs of thyme
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 15 ounces crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3–4 tablespoons heavy cream (or as much as needed)

Instructions

  1. Warm olive oil over medium-high heat in a pot. Add salt, thyme sprigs, garlic cloves, chopped parsley, and chopped basil. Cook for about one minute to release the flavors.
  2. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and sugar. Lower the heat to medium once the soup begins to simmer. Let it cook gently for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the thyme sprigs and garlic cloves from the soup.
  4. Lower the heat to low and allow the soup to cool slightly. Use a hand immersion blender to gently blend the soup until it turns creamy.
  5. In a small pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Gradually whisk in heavy cream until the roux reaches a creamy texture.
  7. Slowly pour the roux mixture into the tomato bisque while whisking continuously.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if desired. Garnish before serving.

Notes

Use high-quality crushed San Marzano tomatoes for the best flavor. Adjust herbs to your taste and add red pepper flakes for a kick.
