Roasted Yellow Pear Tomato Yellow Pepper And Basil Bisque Recipes

ROASTED YELLOW PEAR TOMATO, YELLOW PEPPER AND BASIL BISQUE

Steps:

• Tomatoes and Peppers -- Add the tomatoes and peppers to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or just sprayed with non stick spray like Pam. Drizzle with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano and toss lightly. Bake in a 400 degree oven until the peppers soften and to start to brown and the tomatoes just begin to pop. About 15-20 minutes.
• Broth Base -- As you roast the vegetables, start the base for the soup. In a large pot, add the olive oil, garlic and onion and saute on medium heat.
• Vegetables -- Add all the tomatoes to the onion mixture and add in 2 cups of the broth, and sherry wine. The peppers, you want to put in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. After 10 minutes, the skin should peel right off. Rough chop and add to the rest of the soup.
• Puree and Finish -- Use your immersion blender, or you can use a regular blender, and puree until smooth. I like to leave a little texture to mine. Return to the pot if using a regular blender. Season with salt and pepper, then add any additional broth if desired, and the cream. Bring to medium heat. Right before serving, check for seasoning one more time, and add in the fresh basil. I like lots of fresh ground pepper in mine.
• Enjoy this beautiful creamy pale yellow soup. It is sweet and fresh tasting, and it absolutely delish! I garnish mine with a toasted baguette slice with goat cheese.

Then add the sherry. Cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the alcohol has cooked off, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the roasted vegetables, crushed tomatoes and 1 cup chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 15 minutes.

GRILLED YELLOW TOMATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Grill the tomatoes until the skins crack and the tomatoes soften, about 10 minutes. OR place them on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake at 450* F for 12 minutes. Allow tomatoes to cool enough to handle, core them, and coarsely chop them.
• While the tomatoes are cooling heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 7 minutes. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, chicken broth, and sugar. Increase the heat, bring to a boil, turn the heat to medium, and simmer until the soup is reduced by one quarter, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Use an immersion blender to puree the bisque. The recipe suggests straining, but I found that mine didn't need it. Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the chopped mint or basil. Serve with crusty buttered french bread.
