Instructions

Prepare all of the necessary ingredients for the recipe.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and celery with a pinch of salt, cook until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Mix in garlic and continue to cook until it becomes fragrant, around 1 minute.
Add chicken broth and tomatoes to the onion mixture. Bring the mixture to a simmer and season with paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, then stir rice into the soup. Skim off any foam that forms occasionally. Simmer until both the rice and vegetables are very tender, for about 35 to 45 minutes. Stir in sugar.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until it achieves a smooth consistency.
Incorporate 1/2 cup of cream into the soup, then adjust the seasoning with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sugar as needed. If the soup is too thick, add more broth; if it's too thin, continue to cook, stirring frequently, until it reduces and thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
Pour the bisque into pre-warmed bowls. Garnish each serving with a drizzle of cream and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of chopped basil on top.
