What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Next Step: Yogurt Tomato Bisque! Before you turn up your nose at the sound of yogurt, hear me out. Here’s a couple of facts you may not have heard about yogurt. Number One, it’s healthy. Number Two, it makes the soup creamier, which is always a plus in my opinion. Number Three, Greek yogurt has twice as much protein as regular yogurt. And, Number Four, it has about half as many carbs, if that’s something that is important to you. All together, that makes it a Superfood. Yada-yada-yada. In the end, what it all comes down to is flavor. Tomatoes can be sweet, so the yogurt adds a little tang, which goes well with a dab of butter. Add herbs and cheese with a slice of garlic toast and you have the “pièce de résistance”. Nicely done.
YOGURT TOMATO BISQUE
Ingredients:
10-12 plum tomatoes, cut in half
1 sweet onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup Greek yogurt
Dab of butter
Colby cheese, finely shredded
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Place plum tomatoes and chopped onions in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil to coat. Sprinkle with black pepper, sea salt, basil, oregano, and garlic powder. Spread onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick oil. Roast 30 minutes until browned. Remove from oven. Cool slightly. Transfer roasted vegetables to a food processor to purée. In a stock pot, combine vegetable broth and puréed tomatoes. Stir well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Gently fold in Greek yogurt. Divide into soup bowls. Garnish with a dab of butter and finely shredded Colby cheese. Sprinkle with marjoram. Serve with garlic toast.
That looks really good 🙂

Greek yogurt is my “go-to” in many recipes. It keeps cakes from drying out, it cuts back on the calories of sour cream, plus it’s very tasty for breakfast with fruit on top. Thanks for coming on board with it. 👏

Nothing epic. I fix my husband eggs over easy, crispy potatoes and onions, and some sort of meat. It keeps us from snacking all day, plus we get an energy boost. How about you?

Cool. I like scrambled eggs with some cheddar cheese, maybe some blueberries, bacon (on occasion), and if it’s a free day or something some kind of pastry or muffin.
