Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup

Tomato bisque is a creamy, smooth soup made primarily from tomatoes, often with the addition of onions, garlic, and herbs. Unlike traditional tomato soup, tomato bisque typically includes cream or a roux to give it a velvety texture and rich flavour. At Soups From Me To You, we roast garlic and infuse it into the soup to give a rich flavour.

Our Tomato Soup pairs well with a variety of side dishes. Traditional accompaniments include grilled cheese sandwiches for dipping, crusty bread or garlic bread for soaking up the soup, or a simple green salad with a light vinaigrette for freshness. For a heartier meal, you can serve Tomato Soup alongside a sandwich or panini filled with ingredients like ham, turkey, or roasted vegetables.

1. Croutons: Crunchy croutons add texture and depth to tomato soup. You can use store-bought croutons or make your own by toasting cubes of bread with olive oil and seasonings like garlic powder, Italian herbs, or Parmesan cheese.
2. Fresh Herbs: Chopped fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or chives can brighten up the flavour of tomato soup and add a pop of color. Simply sprinkle the herbs on top just before serving.
3. Grated Cheese: A sprinkle of grated cheese like Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella can add richness and depth to tomato soup. The cheese melts into the hot soup, creating a creamy and savory topping.
4. Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt: A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt adds creaminess and tanginess to tomato soup. Swirl it into the soup just before serving for added richness.
5. Pesto: A spoonful of pesto adds a burst of flavour to tomato soup. You can use store-bought pesto or make your own with fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil.
6. Bacon or Pancetta: Crispy bacon or pancetta adds a savory and smoky flavour to tomato soup. Simply cook the bacon or pancetta until crisp, then crumble it on top of the soup before serving.
7. Toasted Nuts or Seeds: Toasted nuts or seeds such as pine nuts, almonds, or pumpkin seeds add crunch and nuttiness to tomato soup. Sprinkle them on top just before serving for added texture.
