I wanted a tomato bisque that didn't have 1000 calories to a bowl.. seriously most restaurants use a huge amount of creme which at 720 calories per cup is a killer. I first tried making this recipe with fat free milk fat but Taryn and I both agreed it was too acidic. It also lacked that savory taste I want from a tomato bisque. So, I modified it to have a reasonable amount of milk fat without going over the top. Ingredients 3 cup Pureed Strained Tomatoes in a Box (not can, it tastes funny.. its worth buying the fancy kind) 1 cup low fat milk 1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy creme... add then taste and see what you need 1 table spoon Mixed Dried Italian Herbs 1/2 tea spoon dill weed Toppings A little cheddar cheese to go on top Gold Fish Crackers to go on top Directions: Combine spices and tomato puree and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the milk and creme and bring back to a very low simmer. Salt and pepper to taste. |
