Spicy Crock Pot Tomato Bisque
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This bisque brings tomato soup to a whole new level. It's full of flavor with a slight kick. We loved the addition of roasted garlic. When garlic is roasted it becomes sweeter and it added a ton of flavor to this bisque. Serve with grilled cheese for a grown-up version of a childhood favorite.
Note: We suggest flipping the garlic halfway through roasting.
