This was a wonderful, tasty soup and easy to make. A definite hit at a recent family gathering. It fed 5 adults with decent portions and no leftovers. I didn't even add in the cream at the end. It probably wasn't as bisque-like without it, but it was still thick and hearty. I used the bacon as garnish and also added some parmesan.

My husband had tomato bisque in a restaurant and asked me to make some at home. I rely on foodnetwork.com for my recipes, found this one and made it. I personally can't stand tomato soup, so I was very surprised to find I LOVED this recipe. My husband, my mom and aunt (who were visiting from out of town and myself all agreed....THIS BISQUE IS FANTASTIC!

Like many others have posted, I order tomato bisque at one of my favorite local restaurants and finally decided to try and make some myself. This recipe is amazing. The only thing you might want to watch out for is the saltiness. It was fine for my taste, but a few people said it had just a pinch too much. To "fix" it I added a small can of tomato sauce and a tad bit more cream. I also made this with an amazing grilled cheese sandwich that I made using Italian artisan bread and fresh cheddar cheese. The soup was perfect for dipping that sandwich into. At the restaurant I order it from they add small bits of fresh mozzarella at the bottom and it goes perfect with the soup. I highly suggest adding mozz. to the bottom of every bowl. Last but not least, it did take longer than noted. I'm not sure where they get their times from, but it took me about an hour and a half, but was well worth it. I can't wait to have leftovers tonight!

Delicious!!! I cut back on the onion and added a little basil... A delicious soup served with BLT's and a wedge salad.

This has quickly become a favorite of mine! Because I like a more intense tomato flavor than I can get with just canned whole tomatoes, I also add a can of tomato paste to the recipe. You can also cut back on the cream and it's still delicious. This is a great recipe. I've always had excellent results and gotten rave reviews from anyone that tries it.

When the garden overflows with tomatoes, I make this delicious soup in large batches and freeze it for the winter months. So much better than anything from the market! To make it extra kicky, add cajun seasoning blend instead of the salt.

Excellent!!! Was worth the work!!!Added 1 tsp of red pepper after puree process, to play it safe, but could do 2 and still be a mild seasoning. Added 3/4 tablespoon of gorgonzola cheese & remaining bacon to each of the bowls of soup before serving. Bowl size was about 2 cups. Was a meal in itself, so may want to lesson gorgonzola if serving anything smaller. Loved it!!! Would make again and am sharing Recipe with Family.

With some adjustments, this soup can be fantastic.
First, I didn't chop or mince any of the veggies (including the tomatoes, I just quartered and let simmer in broth and then ran cooled soup through the food processor.
I only added 1/2 the cream at the end, but I also added about 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, which made all the difference. I also didn't strain through a sieve...I liked the texture just the way it was.

I think it was a very tasty appetizer. The only thing I would change for next time I wouldn?t add celery because it covers the taste of the tomato flavor and it tastes more like celery bisque. Also, it only needs 3 cans of chicken broth. I also used half and half to make it less calories instead of heavy cream. We both enjoyed this soup.
