This is absolutely the best tomato bisque soup! So rich and creamy. I didn't have fresh herbs but the dried ones worked just fine. I also didn't cool the soup before I pureed it. I just used an immersion blender and pureed it in the pot. Came out WONDERFUL!!!!!!

Wonderful soup. I had no celery so chopped up a red bell pepper and hoped for the best. I also had only two garlic cloves so used them plus 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Had to use 1 tsp each dried thyme and parsley, because I didn't have the fresh herbs. Followed the rest of the recipe exactly and it was really delicious. Next time I'll shop for the right ingredients and compare with my first version, using celery and the fresh herbs, though I have to admit I thought the red bell pepper tasted pretty good.

This soup was so easy to make yet so tasty!! I used San Marzano plum tomatoes. I am sure this helped a lot. I had to add a lot more salt than what the recipe called for. Also I tried the soup before I added the cream and it was so good that I figured I would save myself the calories/fat. I will definitely make this over and over again.

I've tried several Bisque recipes that I found online, and this BY FAR out does them all! In my batch, I used fresh tomatoes instead of canned, and added 1 teaspoon of sugar in the last step to cut down on acidity. Also, I didn't have fresh herbs on hand, so I used dried, but it still came out wonderfully. Next time, I might consider adding a can of tomato paste for a bit more of a tomato taste.

this came out great, I made it following the recipe exactly, except for the sifting, im lazy. I will make this again but next time ill add 2 cans of tomatoes! The carrots are really needed to cut out the acidity of the tomato.

I made this soup the other night for my family and it was absolutely delicious. My only suggestion would be not to strain it at the end and have very small pieces within the soup. I also made some grilled cheese with Gruyere and a slice of tomato on the foreman grill to go along with the soup. What a combination for a cold night.

This was easy to make and well worth the time. I'm on a low salt diet and love tomato bisque but find most to be extremely salty or spicy. This was absolutely AMAZING. Even my husband who doesn't like tomato bisque had two bowls.

I have enjoyed tomato bisque far too long only at restaurants so I figured I'd make it myself, and gave this recipe a try. I took in consideration other people's comments regarding the amount of cream called for and ended up adding only 1/3 of the suggested amount. WOW! This bisque is amazing. I had a couple people over for dinner and they both said it tasted better than the local restaurants. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this - even to people who don't like tomato soup such as myself.

I LOVE tomato bisque and have been searching for the ultimate recipe forever. This is the best I've found so far...with a few adjustments, I have made this a house staple and even get requests from my co-workers to make it. I use it as bribery..lol!
First no carrots, no celery. I add a little (a very little bit of chipolte adobe sauce, gives it a little sass, plus a drop of liquid smoke. I also don't use the fresh parsley or bay leaf, I add dried or fresh rosemary and basil. Don't add all the cream and don't run it through a sieve after the blender. It is by far the most requested recipe I cook. And it freezes beautifully.

Absolutely fabulous soup. I strongly suggest using a great canned tomato like san marzano, it's totally worth the extra money as the rest of the ingredients are really inexpensive. I didn't use fresh thyme or parsley, only had dried, and it was still fabulous. I also added about half the bacon while simmering, and when complete only added about half the salt as well.

This soup can work well with out the cream, as it is rich in flavor, I did only add half the cream suggested, and honestly felt it diluted the flavor a little bit. It was very filling on a cold rainy night.

Made it with a grilled cheese with cheddar, thinly sliced gala apples and bacon. It was great!
