Lovely!
Bisque is a rich creamy soup which has its origin in France. Chowder is also a type of soup but is chunky in nature while the bisque is smooth and creamy. Both use seafood extensively. We can always adapt a classic bisque or a chowder recipe to make it vegetarian or vegan. This tomato bisque is a vegetarian version of the classic french bisque.
Here I have used tomatoes with some carrot and red onions to cook this rich creamy tomato bisque. We can choose to use other vegetables too. Adding basil to this soup will give it a lovely flavour. By not adding the butter or the cream, you can make a vegan version of the same. Since it is cooked in a pressure cooker, the time taken to make this soup is very less. Of course, you can make it on the stove top too.
By adding different vegetables and herbs and their combinations, we can cook many varieties of this soup. The creamy carrot soup is one such option. Cook this soup and serve warm with fresh warm bread.
The other creamy soups that you could try are Cream of tomato soup, Creamy Corn soup, and Zucchini Pumpkin soup
