Riverside Resort's Tomato Bisque

Submitted by TasteTester

"I was at WDW's Riverside Resort a few days ago, and had the most amazing tomato bisque soup. It was so thick, creamy and full of tomatoey flavor that I had several bowls of it. After coming home I found a few different recipes for Disney tomato bisque soups; after looking at the ingredients, I'm sure this is the one I had."

I would have given this 5 stars if DH had liked it more...I thought it was wonderful, DO add a heap more basil, we had a guest over who said more was better and I agreed with her. It was easy to make and apart from DH who wasn't enthused, all was tasty with this recipe. Please see my rating system: 4 excellent stars. Thanks:)
