I looooooove a good, creamy, tomato bisque. I can't seem to find a good recipe. I don't care about fat content or calories if it's really good!

Well, I can't really comment on this because I don't like tomato soups/bisques, but my sister really likes this recipe.

12 to 15 Roma tomatoes
4 cans tomato soup
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup beef stock, or canned beef consomme
1 bunch fresh basil or 2 tablespoons dry basil
1 cup sugar
2 to 3 cups cream
salt and pepper

Roast tomatoes in oven at 350 F until tops begin to blacken. In a large pot combine tomato soup, chicken stock and beef stock. Place roasted tomatoes and basil in blender and puree until smooth. (Cover blender with the lid and a towel to avoid splashing when hot tomatoes puree.) Add puree to pot and let simmer. Add sugar until mixture is slighlty sweet (don't skimp on the sugar--it may take more or less depending on the tomatoes), then add cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This is from a restaurant so I'm guessing it makes quite a large batch. You could probably 1/2 the recipe if needed.
