We love the Tomato Basil Bisque (Signature Brand) that they sell at Safeway Grocery Stores. I've tried to duplicate it but I'm not close yet. Does anybody have a recipe for this? By the way, exactly what is Bisque?
There is another site where a pregnant woman is looking for this recipe. A reader posted this link http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2005/Sep/07/il/FP509070310.html for a version of the soup that is lower in calories. From what I read, this tastes just the same... but if you dont care about the fat or calories, then use cream instead of the half & half (safeway/vons uses cream).
Hello, you are absolutely right! The soup is wonderful. Sometimes they have a good sale on it during the winter months. My family just loves it. Did you know that it freezes really well. I have done that and it is still great after a few months in the freezer.
Have never tried to make a bisque soup myself but did find this recipe that sounds really yummy!!!
Tomato Basil Bisque Serves 4
1 1/2 tablespoon butter 1/2 large yellow onion 1/4 rib celery 1 1/2 tablespoon flour 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic 1 can (16-ounce size) diced tomatoes 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil 1 can (16-ounce size) tomato puree 1/2 can (16-ounce size) beef stock 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream 1/2 bay leaf Salt and pepper to taste
Heat butter in a large stockpot. Dice onion and celery and add to pot. Saute until the onion is transparent. Sprinkle flour over onions one tablespoon at a time, stirring in each one thoroughly with a large spoon until paste forms. Add garlic, diced tomatoes and basil, and stir. Stir in tomato puree and beef stock slowly, then whipping cream. The soup should be a rose color. Add bay leaf and simmer on low for about an hour. Remove bay leaf before serving. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
