Creamy Tomato Bisque
Creamy Tomato Bisque is velvety and gently tangy, with San Marzano tomatoes providing deep sweetness balanced by paprika and a whisper of cayenne. A small amount of jasmine rice thickens the soup without heaviness, while a swirl of cream and fresh basil adds lushness and fragrance. Serve for a cozy lunch or a refined starter at dinner.
