Instructions

1PREPARE THE AROMATICS: Peel the onion and cut it into small, even dice. Crush the garlic clove with the flat side of your knife to release its aromas. These quick steps will allow the flavors to develop beautifully throughout the bisque.
2SAUTÉ THE VEGETABLES: Melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly until they become translucent and lightly golden. This step creates a delicious aromatic base.
3DEGLAZE AND ADD TOMATOES: Pour the canned peeled tomatoes with their juice into the saucepan, then add the broth. Stir in the Herbes de Provence, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 7-8 minutes to allow the flavors to concentrate.
4BLEND FOR PERFECT SMOOTHNESS: Immerse an immersion blender into the saucepan and blend the bisque with circular motions until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous texture. Make sure to blend all the way to the bottom to eliminate any small pieces and create a velvety consistency.
5FINISH WITH CREAM: Pour the heavy sour cream in a thin stream while gently stirring with a wooden spoon. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your preference. Reheat gently for 1-2 minutes without boiling to preserve the delicate nature of the bisque.
6SERVE WITH ELEGANCE: Pour the bisque into slightly warmed bowls or shallow plates. Garnish with a spiral of sour cream, some golden croutons, fresh basil leaves, or a sprinkle of paprika. Serve immediately while the bisque is still steaming.
