❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Tomato Basil Bisque Soup
1. Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh tomatoes. Use about 2 pounds of ripe Roma tomatoes. Blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then peel off the skins before chopping. You may need to cook them a bit longer to break down.
2. How do I make this soup dairy free?
Replace the heavy cream with full fat coconut milk or a dairy free cream alternative. The soup will still be creamy and delicious. Omit any butter if using in the recipe.
3. Can I freeze this tomato basil bisque?
Yes, this soup freezes well. Let it cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently on the stove. Add a splash of broth or cream if it seems too thick.
4. What can I serve with this soup?
Grilled cheese sandwiches are a classic pairing. You can also serve it with crusty bread, a side salad, or croutons. For a heartier meal, add cooked pasta or rice.
5. Can I use dried basil instead of fresh?
Fresh basil gives the best flavor, but you can use dried basil in a pinch. Use 1 tablespoon of dried basil and add it with the tomatoes. The taste will be less bright but still good.
