Best Tomato Bisquevegan Recipes

RESTAURANT STYLE TOMATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 4-quart saucepan. Add celery and onions.
• Allow the onions and celery to cook for a few minutes until they turn semi-translucent.
• Add the flour to the pan to make a roux.
• Let the roux mixture cook for 5-7 minutes over low heat (the flour should begin to smell a little like bread).Don't let the roux get dark or burn.
• Heat the stock in another saucepan.
• Add the stock to the roux, using a wire whip, and mix well.
• Add the tomatoes and seasonings and allow to simmer for 15- 20 minutes.
• If you have an immersion blender after the bisque has simmered, use your immersion blender to puree as much of the product as possible. You can also transfer it to a food processor or blender, just be very careful with the hot bisque.
• After you have either used an immersion blender or food processor, strain your bisque to remove all the bits and pieces of celery, onions, and tomatoes.
• Return the bisque to the pot and add the heavy cream and fold in the shredded cheddar.
• At this time if the bisque appears to thick you can either add more vegetable stock, milk, or just plain water.
• Taste the soup and re-season if necessary, then allow the soup to simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

TOMATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp and most of the fat has rendered, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Lower the heat to medium, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• When the soup base is cool, remove and discard the herb bundle. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Using a sieve over a large bowl, strain the tomato puree. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.
• Whisk the heavy cream and salt into the soup and season with pepper to taste. Divide among warm soup bowls, garnish with the crispy bacon, and serve immediately.

HOW TO MAKE TOMATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and celery with a pinch of salt until onion is translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour chicken broth and tomatoes into onion mixture. Bring to a simmer and season with paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Turn heat to low and stir rice into soup; skim foam occasionally and simmer until rice and vegetables are very tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Add sugar.
• Blend soup with an immersion blender in the pot until smooth. Whisk 1/2 cup cream into soup and adjust levels of salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and sugar. If soup is too thick, add more broth; if soup is too thin, cook, stirring often, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Ladle into warmed bowls; garnish each bowl with a drizzle of cream and top with about 1 teaspoon chopped basil.

BEST VEGAN TOMATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients, except the cashew butter to a pot. If using whole cashews, add them to the pot as well, as they will soften as the soup cooks. Stir well and turn to high heat.
• Bring it to a boil and once it starts boiling, stir once more and then cover with a lid and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cook covered on medium-low for 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are very soft. Cooking this long really creates depth of flavor, as well. Stir a couple of times during and to check on the carrots.
• Once the carrots are tender, turn the heat off. Very carefully pour the soup into a blender, it's HOT! (I used my Vitamix) and add the cashew butter (if using instead of whole cashews). Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and add anymore salt or dried herbs. Mine didn't need anymore salt because my tomato puree already had mild salt. Feel free to adjust.
• Pour into bowls. Serve with toasted bread or this grilled cheese!

TOMATO BISQUE(VEGAN)

Steps:

• Place a large stockpot over medium heat. Sprinkle the bottom with a pinch of salt and heat for 1 minute. Add the margarine and stir until melted, being careful not to let it burn. This will create a nonstick effect. Add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and continue cooking and stirring for 2 minutes.
• Add the stock, tomatoes along with juice, parsley, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add cashew cream and continue to simmer(do not boil) for about 10 minutes.
• Remove and discard the bay leaf. Working in batches, pour the soup into a blender, cover the lid with a towel(the hot liquid might overflow) and blend on high speed for a few minutes, until very smooth. Pour the soup through a fine mesh sieve.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with parsley. Enjoy!
