Ingredients for Tomato Bisque
Tomatoes: Choose a good quality brand of canned crushed tomatoes. Vegetables: Sweet veggies like onions, celery, and carrots balance the acidic tomatoes and make the soup creamy. Other cooked veggies you can add are red bell peppers, spinach, zucchini, or sweet potatoes. Base: I prefer the flavor of chicken broth over vegetable broth in this recipe however, if you’d like to keep it vegetarian, you can use veggie broth. Heavy cream adds richness. Rice: Optional, but adds body to the bisque. Feel free to omit entirely or use chopped-up pieces of leftover bread if desired.
Variations
Add mini meatballs, macaroni, shells, or ditalini pasta to the recipe once blended. Homemade croutons, chopped fresh basil, thyme, parsley, and parmesan cheese are excellent garnishes on top of tomato bisque.

Storing Tomato Bisque
Leftover tomato soup can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stove with a little cream if needed. Creamy tomato bisque can be frozen in zippered bags once it’s chilled. Freeze the bags flat on a baking sheet in the freezer and then store them upright to save freezer space. Thaw the bisque overnight in the refrigerator and reheat it on the stove. Did you enjoy this Tomato Bisque Recipe? Be sure to leave a comment and rating below. © SpendWithPennies.com.
