Tomato Basil Bisque

[Goomba]

I really wanted to cook something before having to go to work all night..even more so, I wanted to cook for the SO before I had to go to work for once...it's something I don't do as much due to my job. It's also stupid cold outside right now for some reason so I really wanted soup. So basically, I busted this out with what I had on hand and ready to go. I wrote everything down as I went just encase it was spot on....well, it was.
I served this with a grilled cheese on the side and it truly was perfect.

you can get the recipe at my very slowly moving blog.

traditionally you strain Bisque through a sieve of some sort.
I did not do this with this one so the texture may be a little different then expected. I am not a fan of perfectly smooth soup (exp: canned tomato soup) so I  like to keep a very little something there. But thank you either way.

i agree, i cant enjoy perfectly smooth soup either, especially campbells canned tomato soup.  the heartier tomato bisques have always been the tastiest on my palate.

Good stuff.
Feel free to hit me up with your feelings on the dish if you end up making it.
I'm always open for suggestions from folks who know their stuff.
