Brown Bag Lunch

I love tomato bisque and curry so when I stumbled on this in Real Simple March 2011 issue I was gamed to try:


Curried Tomato Bisque


www.realsimple.com
Total time 10 minutes


Serves 2


Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  


Add 1 chopped small onion, 2 cloves of crushed garlic, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt & 1 teaspoon black pepper & cook, stirring until soft.  3 to 5 minutes.


Add 1 teaspoon curry powder cook, continual stirring until fragrant about 30 seconds.


Add one 28-ounce can of whole peeled tomatoes (with their juices) and 1/2 cup of water, bring to boil.


In a blender, puree until smooth.


Divide into 2 containers & refrigerate up to one day.
Top with Greek yogurt & fresh cilantro leaves if desire.


Cost $2.50 per serving.


I am planning on substituting fresh tomatoes instead of can or be sure to use no salt added tomatoes if using canned.
