Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups Tomatoes, diced (fresh or canned, unsweetened)
• 2 cups Chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 2

Sauté the chopped onion for 3-5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, basil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, purée the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until creamy, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and gently heat the soup for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Avoid boiling after the cream is added.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve warm.
