Creamy Tomato Bisque ….variation on a childhood favorite!
Creamy Tomato Bisque was on the menu last night at the Thompson house! When I was a kid, Campbell’s Tomato Soup was my favorite. I would have eaten my favorite combo of Campbell’s Tomato Soup and a grilled cheese sandwich at every meal if the adults in my life would have allowed it. Now that I am one of those grownups, my tastes are more sophisticated. I no longer want my soup to come from a can, and I prefer a Creamy Tomato Bisque to Condensed Tomato Soup. So I made this recipe to satisfy that urge for a childhood comfort food with a taste a little more intriguing for my adult palette. Bill said it was definitely a “10” in his book. Print
