Chilled Golden Tomato Bisque
With the tomatoes I bought at the farmer's market on Friday I made this soup today. Based on the reviews I read I decreased the chicken stock to 1 cup and I didn't have sherry vinegar so used a dry sherry instead.
Chilled Golden Tomato Bisque
1 pound yellow tomatoes
1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon mild honey
1 teaspoon Sherry vinegar
Pinch of cayenne
Garnish: chopped red tomato and basil
Coarsely chop tomatoes and purée in a blender with broth until smooth. Force through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids.
Whisk in cream, honey, vinegar, cayenne, and salt to taste.
Quick-chill by setting bowl in an ice bath until cold, about 10 minutes.
I thought this was very good but not the 'spectacular' I was expecting. It was light and a little sweet and I'm wondering if using a little less cream would be better. This was incredibly easy to make and I will definitely serve it again.
