What is the Main Difference between a soup and a bisque?

Soup generally has a stock or broth as its base while the bisque has some heavy cream, half and half, or even coconut milk added making it more smooth and creamy. For this recipe, whether you decide to add the heavy cream toward the end or leaving it to simmer as is, this soup will be a wonderful, comforting, and tasty dish!

How to Store the Leftover Tomato Soup or Tomato Bisque.

The key is to completely let it cool down and transfer it into your favorite container such as the soup cube tray. Close with the lid and freeze up to 2-4 months but I don’t think it will last you that long :).

  • roasted veggies and gouda
    Crank the oven up to the broiling and set the timer for another 10 minutes. No need to wait for the oven to say “Broil”. The purpose is to give some chars to the vegetables without burning all the cheese or break your baking dish.
  • blending roasted veggies
    Transfer the roasted vegetables and melted Gouda cheese to a blender or a pot. If you do not have the hand blender, transfer the roasted vegetables to the regular blender. Add salt, ground black pepper, and oregano. Add 2-3 fresh basil leaves. Or you can transfer the roasted vegetables and cheese to a pot and blend it until smooth with the hand blender.
  • Adding Cream to make bisque
    In a pot, the the roasted vegetables purée you made earlier, add chicken stock and heavy cream. Leave the heavy cream out if you do not want a bisque and only want the soup.
  • Simmer for another 10 minutes. Meanwhile start making some grill cheese if you’d like.

    Serve the soup (bisque) hot, top with some fresh basil, Parmesan or your favorite cheese, and a little bit more of cream and enjoy!

Notes

If your tomato soup is too thick for you, add another 1/2 cup of chicken or vegetable broth.
If you’d like to thicken the soup even more, be patient and keep simmering. Tomatoes consists of a lot of water. It will thicken up eventually.
