This smooth and creamy homemade tomato bisque is a cinch to make, deliciously wholesome, and the perfect pair
why you’ll love this homemade tomato bisque
I have never been a fan of tomato soup, but this homemade tomato bisque is a different thing entirely! It is slightly sweet, creamy, and so flavorful. It pairs perfectly with a grilled cheese- especially a sourdough one! And makes the perfect lunch. My husband grew up eating tomato soup from a can (which totally grosses me out) and this bisque is the middle ground that we can both enjoy!

What make a bisque different than a soup? A bisque is characterized by it’s thick creaminess, whereas a soup tends to be more brothy.

What can I serve with tomato soup? We love to eat this soup with a delicious grilled cheese sandwhich, or with crackers or homemade sourdough croutons! It also pairs well with a fresh green salad!
Can I use milk instead of heavy cream? You can use milk or half and half instead of the heavy cream, but the end result will be lighter and less creamy.
