Tomato Bisque with Garnish

Sauté the pepper, carrot, onion and garlic in hot olive oil until the onions are translucent. Add the tomato purée and fry briefly, then add the tomatoes and stock to the pan. Add the paprika and rosemary, cover and simmer gently for around 30 minutes.

Strain the soup through a sieve, bring to the boil again and, depending on the desired consistency, either reduce the soup or add a little more stock. Season to taste with sugar, sea salt and ground black pepper. Pour into small bowls.

Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Tip into a piping bag with a small, plain nozzle. Pipe hearts onto the soup and serve.
