Ingredients

4 cups fire-roasted tomatoes (canned or fresh)
2 large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: If using fresh tomatoes and peppers, roast them in the oven until charred, then peel and chop. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
Combine Ingredients: Add the fire-roasted tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, vegetable broth, dried basil, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Blend the Bisque: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy.
Add Creaminess: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk and heat gently over low heat without boiling. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve: Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or a sandwich.
