Velvety Tomato Bisque
Hello There!
As I am typing this post, I am looking out my window and it looks like FALL! This makes my heart happy! As the leaves turn brilliant shades of red and orange and the air carries a distinct crispness, we welcome autumn with open arms and a plate full of comfort. Among the many seasonal delights that grace our tables, I have a combination that's hard to resist – Homemade Tomato Bisque paired with delightful pumpkin-shaped pasta. I found the pumpkin-shaped pasta one day at Aldi. It was several weeks ago so it has been sitting in my pantry. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to be using it! I don't know why but it just makes me smile when I see it!
Tomato bisque, with its smooth and velvety texture, is warm and comforting. One of the reasons I love it so much! The addition of the whimsical pumpkin-shaped pasta transforms this soup into a perfect match for the season.
The heart of this dish, the homemade tomato bisque, is a true classic. It's the result of simmered ripe tomatoes, butter, and sweet onions, blended to perfection. Oh, and we can't forget the cream. The result is a rich, tangy base that's an ideal canvas for the flavors of the season.
The real star of this dish is the pumpkin pasta. Delicate, pumpkin-shaped morsels of pasta bring an unexpected twist to this classic. While the pasta doesn't contain pumpkin, its fun shape embodies the spirit of autumn, making it a delightful addition to your bowl. It is also like a mini spoon in your bowl. When you bite into the pasta, it is filled wth the soup and it is a flavorful explosion in your mouth! The bisque provides a burst of tangy richness, while the pasta adds a playful element that perfectly complements the comforting warmth of the soup.
In the world of comfort food, my Homemade Tomato Bisque with Pumpkin Pasta takes the spotlight during the fall season. It's about enjoying the cozy warmth of familiar flavors while savoring the whimsy of autumn. So, if you haven't already, give this delightful duo a try. Prepare a bowl of tomato bisque, add the playful pumpkin pasta, and relish the essence of fall in every bite. It's a celebration of the season's very best, one spoonful at a time. Happy cooking!
Lord Bless You,
