Tomato Basil Bisque
Trader Joes just opened in the Denver area this year and I am still discovering all of their fresh foods that I never allowed myself to try while on the road. One of the happy surprises was their amazing buttermilk which is an important ingredient in this recipe. I almost listed their brand in the list but there are other brands that would work very nicely. For example the Brahms regional chain of dairy stores found throughout parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas offers quality cultured buttermilk too.
Try this better than average tomato soup with a grilled cheese, tomato and basil sandwich.
Ingredients
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1/2 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 1/4 cups good quality cultured buttermilk
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Toppings, fresh basil leaves, freshly ground pepper, Parmesan cheese
Directions
Serves: 2

Note
You may notice that some of our recipes do not contain exact measurements for all ingredients. Cooking on the road is an art more than a science. We view each recipe as only a suggestion - a starting point for your own personal creativity.
We aren't usually dealing with food chemistry in these recipes since we aren't baking with leavening, etc., so feel free to use as much or as little of any suggested ingredient. Be creative and imaginative! Substitute the foods you like or have available for the ones in the recipes. And if you find something that turns out well for you, please share it with the rest of us.
