Mom’s Chicken Paprikash Bisque is total comfort food and a delicious way to use up leftover chicken, make extra or buy a rotisserie chicken! I have been addicted to this tomato based soup ever since the first time she made it. I am not kidding.
This soup is so easy to prepare and I still make it regularly, even after all of these years. If you are a fan of tomato soup, I urge you to give my Mom’s Chicken Paprikash Bisque a try! I think it should be on every tomato soup lovers bucket list!
I know it sounds funny to have a food bucket list but I have one! It is a huge pile of recipes that I have been given or seen online that I am slowly working my way through. I even have quite a few recipes from people who have visited or follow my site. Many went into my regular rotation! You can never have too many recipes!
Food excites me and I love experimenting and trying new things! I could go on and on. Now, getting back to this wonderful soup. Once you have your cooked, chopped chicken all you need is a can of crushed tomatoes, some chicken broth, peppers and onions! Almost forgot! Some spices too!
I have used vegetable broth before but prefer the flavor chicken broth adds to this hearty soup. I don’t always include peppers if I don’t have them but I always include onions. Probably because I never seem to run out of them and they last longer in the fridge!
As you can see my Mom’s Chicken Paprikash Bisque is a thicker soup, or bisque, and although I love crackers in my soup I never add them to this one. Every other one I make though I do! I just can’t help myself!
