BJs Tomato Bisque Recipe
There's nothing quite like starting off a meal with a comforting bowl of BJ's Tomato Bisque.You'll appreciate how easy this soup is to make, using simple ingredients like canned tomatoes, chicken broth, and heavy cream.I recommend heating the cream in a double boiler before mixing it with the tomato mixture to keep the bisque smooth and creamy.In the first bite, you'll notice such a nice balance of flavors, with a combo of tangy tomatoes with a hint of sweetness.
