The addition of shrimp turns this tomato bisque into something special. You can also make this recipe ahead of time; toast the bread and garnish the reheated soup with fresh dill just before serving.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 2 pounds plum tomatoes, halved, seeds removed

  • ½ cup chopped yellow onion

  • ¼ cup dry sherry

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 3 cups chicken stock

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • 1 pound peeled and deveined medium-size raw shrimp, chopped

  • 4 thick white sandwich bread slices, halved diagonally

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • fresh dill, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a pot over medium-high. Add tomatoes and onion; cook, stirring, until softened, 7 minutes. Add sherry and tomato paste and cook until liquid is reduced by half, 2 minutes. Add salt and stock; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until slightly thickened, 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cream. Puree in a blender until smooth. Return to the pot; stir in shrimp and cook on low until cooked through, 3 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, brush bread with remaining oil and season with pepper. Broil in a single layer on a baking sheet until toasted, 1 minute. Serve soup with toast, garnished with dill.
