Creamy and comforting tomato bisque is simple to make and way better than store bought! San Marzano tomatoes, onion, garlic, and vegetable broth are simmered and then blended together for a soup that's easy and delicious.
Equipment
- A dutch oven or soup pot
- A blender or an immersion blender
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 sweet onion, medium diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp + 1 t. sugar
- ½ t. kosher salt
- 28 oz can of san marzano tomatoes I used Cento brand
- 2 ¼ cups vegetable broth*
- ½ cup heavy cream
- small handful of basil
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven on medium high heat sauté the diced onion in the butter for 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic, kosher salt, and a teaspoon of sugar and sauté for 30 more seconds.
- Add the san marzano tomatoes and the vegetable broth to the pot. Stir and then let it come to a simmer. Turn down the heat to medium low and let simmer for 35 minutes.
- Add 1 tbsp of sugar and the basil and blend up the soup with an immersion blender. If you don't have an immersion blender carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
- Let the soup simmer for 5 more minutes then add ½ cup of heavy cream. Once the soup is hot again turn off the heat and serve warm.
