I happen to love love love a nice hot tomato bisque with some buttery crunchy grilled cheese and the best I've ever had happened to be at a little cafe in town that closes down last year. However one if my very close friends worked the kitchen at said cafe and gave me the secret to their fabulous bisque was nothing but pizza sauce and heavy cream topped with a little cheese. Amazed at the thought that this wonderful dish I'd loved for years was soo very simple I thought I would take it upon myself to come up with my own recipe with my very own twist :) I've made this three times now and my very picky three year old loves it, as well as Mr healthy guy!! Its a big recipe, makes enough for a very hungry family of 4 or 5 to have at least two bowls each! But I love making big batches of this because I love having some extra to heat up and eat the next day and through the week :) but if you don't want as much just cut it in half.
2 family size cans Campbell's tomato soup
1 family cambells tomato soup can full of chicken stock and 1 full of water
2 cans tomato sauce
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp basil
1 1/2 tbsp black pepper
2 tbs minced garlic
1/3 cup shredded Colby jack cheese
1 small carton of heavy cream
Combine all ingredients except cheese and cream into a large pot and heat through on medium high heat. Stir in and melt cheese, continue to stir occationally while you make the grilled cheese or whatever you want to serve with the bisque. Or if you just want the bisque let it cook on high simmer for about 20 mins
