This recipe was fantastic! My mom had never had tomato bisque and she had more than one bowl. In fact, everyone had more than one helping. I used fat free half and half, and added a little sugar to cut any acid in the tomato paste. Would love to try this with fresh basil added.

I enjoyed this with my grilled cheese sandwich, but I it could really use more seasoning to give it some dimension. I only used the 1/8 tsp cayenne, and that was okay for my wimpy taste buds. :)

It was so good! I will definitely make this again. I served this with bruschetta seasoned with olive oil, parmesan, and garlic.

It is not bad, I added some parsley, thyme, basil, celery, salt and pepper and I think it improved the taste.
