What is the difference between tomato soup and tomato bisque?

The difference between tomato soup and tomato bisque soup is the addition of dairy in a tomato bisque. Most tomato bisque soups are creamed with cream, but we actually used 2 kids of dairy – Greek yogurt and heavy cream.

Homemade in 20!

Ours actually cuts out a lot of leg work by using canned tomato products. That way, you can pretty much make this recipe at any moment if your kitchen is stocked with canned goods.

How to Make 20-Min Tomato Bisque

Before getting started. We suggest assembling everything you need so that you can whiz through this soup recipe!

What You Need

• yellow onion
• garlic
• tomato paste
• diced tomatoes
• whole, peeled tomatoes
• basil
• vegetable broth
• Greek yogurt
• heavy cream

Step 1: Saute

Begin by prepping yellow onion and garlic. Dice yellow onion and mince the garlic. Then, saute them in olive oil with salt and pepper until your onions are translucent.

Step 2: Blend

Place canned tomato products, basil, and garlic powder in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Then, add the contents of your pot to the blender and blend until smooth again.

Step 3: Heat

Pour contents of the blender into a large pot and turn heat to medium/high. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn to low and then add vegetable broth, cream, Greek yogurt, and apple cider vinegar.

Optional Simmer

At this point, your soup is ready to go! However, if you’d like to add more depth of flavor to your soup, you can let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

Can you Freeze Tomato Bisque?

If you want to freeze tomato bisque soup, we recommend doing so before adding any kind of dairy. Make the soup as is, but add the dairy once you thaw and reheat to prevent curdling.
