Creamy Tomato Bisque

December 22, 2020 by Empty Nester Leave a Comment

Last night we went with a simple meal. We had Roast Beef Panini and Creamy Tomato Bisque. It was a nice combination for a December weekday.

DS mentioned that tomato soup is a lesser soup, EXCEPT when you have something to dip in it. ๐Ÿ™‚ He liked dipping his sandwich in the soup to blend the flavors.

Creamy Tomato Bisque

This is a creamy version of the classic tomato soup, but is is not overly rich. I make this in the winter using canned tomatoes. Serve with crusty bread or sandwiches.
