TOMATO BISQUE WITH PUFF PASTRY CRUST

Steps:

• In large saucepan over medium heat, cook onion and garlic in oil until softened. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add seasonings and simmer for about 30 minutes. Add tomato juice; puree in a blender. Add heavy cream and heat until very hot.
• Cut rounds of puff pastry about 1/2-inch larger than the size of your soup bowls. Refrigerate pastry between sheets of wax paper. Mix egg yolk and milk for egg wash in a small bowl.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place hot soup into bowls. Add a slice of goat cheese to each bowl. Wet the rim and outside edge of the bowl, and top each with a round of puff pastry.

Bake for 5-10 minutes until pastry is nicely browned. Serve immediately.

TOMATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp and most of the fat has rendered, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Lower the heat to medium, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• When the soup base is cool, remove and discard the herb bundle. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Using a sieve over a large bowl, strain the tomato puree. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.
• Whisk the heavy cream and salt into the soup and season with pepper to taste. Divide among warm soup bowls, garnish with the crispy bacon, and serve immediately.
