Fresh Tomato Bisque with Basil Oil Recipe

Use a heavy bottomed soup pot. Place the pot over low flame and add the olive oil. Place the onions in the pot and lightly saute for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and saute shortly. Add the seasonings and cover with a lid. Place on medium-low heat. Allow to cook until soft, stirring often. Place the mixture in the food processor and puree until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

To make the basil oil, just place the ingredients in the food processor and puree for about 5 minutes. Place in a squeeze bottle and garnish the soup with it.
