My parents came to visit Jeremy and I before they embarked on a two week vacay to Nashville and Florida! We got a lot of chores done...my house is full of Christmas cheer now, thanks Mom! And Dad helped me till my garden spot for next spring...I can't wait!
I made sure to feed them well and they were very impressed by this new soup recipe I tried!
Tomato-Vegetable Bisque
Ingredients:
2 T Olive oil
1 medium-sized onion, peeled and chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into coins
3 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into coins
1 head celery diced
1/2 dried oregano
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 can (28 oz each) diced tomatoes, drained
4 cups Watkins chicken broth (or veggie broth)
2/3 C evaporated milk
parsley for decor
Instructions:
Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook 6 minutes. Stir carrots, parsnips, celery, oregano and pepper. Cook an additional 3 minutes.
Add drained tomatoes and 2 cups broth. Increase heat to medium-high and partially cover pot.
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium and continue to simmer 10 minutes, until vegetables are cooked.
Ladle half of mixture into a blender; carefully puree. While blending, add 1 C of the remaining broth.
Repeat with remaining tomato mixture and remaining broth. Return to pot, stir in milk and heat until warm. Serve and WOW your guests!
