This recipe is amazing not only because the soup is wonderful but the time to make it is only 10 - 17 minutes. We added some fresh basil as well as the dried basil more to add some color than anything. It turned out fantastic!

I gave this a three stars because the recipe as written is really bland. But it does offer a lot of customization to your tasts. But if you don't know what you like in bisque that's really hard to say. I made this recipe taste good (for me) by adding cayane, paprika, minced onions, minced garlic and chili paste (with 2 bay leaves for good measure). It was way to bland after I tasted it without altering it so I tossed the above in.

Its really good, sorta like what my mom used to make. I used a can of evaporated milk instead of cream for a lower fat version. I would have given it 5 stars but silly me, didn't take it off the heat when I added the milk and it split. It looked unappealing but still tasted good. I added a bit of fresh ground pepper to it as well.

I just made this today and it was wonderful. I had tomato bisque soup for the first time about 2 weeks ago and loved it! This recipe was so easy and it leaves a lot of room to play around with so you can really make it interesting everytime.

Delicious and so quick and easy. I will definitely be making it again and again. Like other reviewers, I also pureed the stewed tomatoes.

So YUMMY and so EASY. I had a Tomato Bisque at a restaurant & loved it so much that I needed to find a recipe to match. This is definitely the taste I was looking for.

Wonderful! I slightly pureed the tomatoes so that it would be the right consistency. And added way more basil, garlic powder, a hint of mint, and a hint of cayene pepper. It is so good and filling!

Very good and I added salt and lots of pepper. Chopped tomatoes, otherwise it would be very difficult to eat. Thanks for the recipe.

Lovely soup! First time making homemade tomato soup, I made it a little spicy and served with grilled cheese on homemade bread ;)

very flavorful and easy to make. Followed the advice of others and pureed the tomatoes - would need a fork otherwise.

I like how the recipe leaves room for playing around with it. My husband and I took turns tasting and adding to it. Next time I'm pureeing the tomatoes and this goes excellent with provelone and pepperoni grilled cheese too.

I made it for a soup supper at church and not a bit was left. It is sooo easy I almost felt I was cheating. I added a little extra basil.

Another great recipe and so easy to make. I pureed the tomatoes, added the cream, basil, garlic, dash of salt and rice for substance. The family loved it!

This is a great starter you can really have fun with. I used fresh cilantro AND basil, a little minced garlic and fat free half and half. I think the possibilities are endless here. I might even add rice next time

I've never made a Tomato Bisque before and this one turned out great! It was very filling. I pureed the stewed tomatoes to make it easier to eat and dip my warm wheat french toast in it. It was YUMMY-LICIOUS!
