Tomato-Basil Bisque
2 qt. Crushed tomatoes
1 qt water
4 stalks celery (fine mince)
2 medium yellow onions (fine mince)
1/4 cup dried basil
2 bay leaves
1 pint heavy cream
1 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Technique: saute the celery and onion in olive oil until soft. Add remaining ingredients (except cream) and simmer for 1 hour. Taste and adjust seasoning. If the tomato product you are using seems really acidic, add a little sugar to counteract. Add the cream just prior to serving, and remove bay leaves. Enjoy!
