Stolen Tomato Bisque
I recently stole a soup-making concept from Chef John of Food Wishes and reinterpreted it for the Instant Pot to enhance the quality of my Crap-We-Should-Really-Use-These-Vegetables Found Object Soup. Here's what I did:
Ingredients:
Do this:
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted stick butter
- 1/2 giant white onion
- 1/2 entire thing of celery
- 2 orange bell peppers (That's what I had; one time I used red. You could use something else.)
- Seasoning (I used a pinch of salt, lots of black pepper and a fuckton of Penzey's "Mural of Flavor" seasoning blend)
- 6 cups or 1.5 containers of Sprouts Vegetable Broth (1 new plus some I had leftover in the fridge)
- 1 28oz can of Sprouts Crushed Tomatoes (Chef John recommended using higher quality canned tomatoes; he's probably right)
- 2-4 tbsps white Jasmine rice
Do this:
- Dice the vegetables.
- Set the Instant Pot to Saute.
- Add the 1 tbsp olive oil and 1tbsp butter
- When it starts making hissy sounds, add the diced vegetables.
- Saute until sauteing is boring.
- Add seasonings.
- Add vegetable broth (or chicken broth, or whatever).
- Add the can of crushed tomatoes.
- Add 2-4 tbsps white Jasmine rice (I used 4 - or 1/4 c - because I had a lot of liquid).
- Close up the Instant Pot and set to Manual, 15 minutes.
- Let it natural release to avoid spraying stainy red soup everywhere.
- Puree with stick blender.
- After you puree, you could add some heavy cream or half-and-half to bisque it up, but I don't always do this if I'm trying to appear virtuous, health-wise.
