How to cook deliciously - Tomato Bisque

1. Stage

In a large saucepan, saute the celery, onion and red pepper in butter for five to six minutes or until tender. Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 40 minutes.

2. Stage

Remove the soup from the heat and stir in basil, sugar, salt and pepper. Cool slightly. Transfer half of the soup to a blender. While processing, gradually add the cream. Continue processing until smooth. Return the pureed soup to the pan and heat through, but do not boil. Editor's Tip: If you prefer a smooth bisque, you can puree the second half of the soup, then combine it with the half that includes the cream. Don't try to puree the whole batch at once; it's unsafe to fill a blender more than halfway full of hot liquid.
