Creamy Tomato Bisque Recipe: Easy & Delicious!

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Gather all of your ingredients for the tomato bisque.
2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, celery, carrot, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and starting to brown, around 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
3. Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes, sugar, tomato paste, and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer until the vegetables are very tender, approximately 10 minutes.
4. Puree the soup using a blender or food processor until it reaches a silky smooth texture, or blend to your desired consistency. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan for easier cleanup.
5. Stir cream into the blended soup. Cook and stir over medium heat until the bisque is heated through. Before serving, season with salt and pepper to your liking.
