Works well with grilled cheese or a nice green salad.

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. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Spicy Crock Pot Tomato Bisque

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel a whole head of garlic. Place cloves in a small oven-safe dish and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until soft and golden brown. (Garlic can also be roasted in a foil packet.)
While garlic is roasting add tomatoes and tomato paste to a large Crock Pot (at least 5 quart). Add all remaining ingredients except heavy cream and Romano cheese.
Stir together and drop in roasted garlic once it's done roasting.
Cook on high for 3 hours.
Reduce heat to low and puree mixture until completely smooth with a hand blender.
Add heavy cream.
Let simmer another 30 minutes.
Serve and garnish with cheese and basil stems.
