Tomato Bisque

I absolutely love to cook (and eat!). Tonight I made tomato bisque and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and had our friends, The Marsh's, over.

I got the soup recipe from our neighbor, Wendy, and thought I would share it with you.  It's super easy and really yummy.  Let me know what you think if you try it.

Tomato Bisque
2 small cans tomato paste
1 can diced tomatoes, drained (These aren't in the original recipe, but I add them)
3 cups water
3 cups heavy cream
4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
3 Tb sugar (I use less sugar)
salt & pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients in a med soup pot and whisk well.  Bring to a boil over med heat.  Simmer 10 minutes, whisking often.  Serve with cheesy croutons (optional).
