Notes
*For a lower sodium option, look for “no salt added” or “low sodium” canned tomatoes.
*My blender is a Ninja, similar to THIS set. Any high-speed blender or food processor would work just fine

The Ingredients
- Olive Oil – This is used simply to help the onion and garlic sauté. Don’t skip this healthy fat! Avocado oil would also work just fine.
- Onion & Garlic – This is where so much of the flavor comes from! Sautéing it prior to blending helps these flavors to POP.
- Spices – This Simple Stovetop Tomato Basil Bisque calls for three simple spices…salt, pepper, and garlic powder. It is called simple for a reason!
- Tomatoes – I used canned diced tomatoes, whole peeled tomatoes, and tomato paste. You can absolutely use fresh as well, but since I usually make this in the winter the fresh tomatoes aren’t usually as good of quality. For a lower sodium option, look for “no salt added” or “low sodium”. Although I kept it simple this time around and didn’t add any extra veggies, I have also experimented with adding carrots and roasted red pepper. Feel free to make this recipe your own and experiment with adding other veggies!
- Basil – GO FRESH! This is a step I highly recommend not skipping. There is nothing like fresh basil. Dried basil does not even compare in my opinion. If you have extra basil leftover you can chop it and freeze it or blend it into a pesto.
- Bone Broth – Any broth would work just fine, but I had bone broth on hand and used it for the added protein.
- Greek Yogurt – This is where all of the creaminess comes from! Did you know that the main difference between tomato soup and tomato bisque is the addition of dairy in a tomato bisque. Most tomato bisque soups are creamed with high-fat cream, but I used Greek yogurt for added protein and extra creaminess. Win win!
