Quick and Easy Creamy Tomato Bisque

This soup is quick, easy, and worth the extra time to roast the vegetables. Most of our recipes use avocado oil because of its high smoke point, and it’s good for you.

Avocado oil is oil pressed from the avocado fruit. Its mild taste and high smoke point make it a popular cooking oil, but you can also consume it raw. Avocado oil is very similar to olive oil in terms of utility and nutritional value. Like extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed avocado oil is unrefined and retains some of the flavor and color of the fruit, leaving it greenish in color.

Avocado oil is also frequently applied directly to the skin as a moisturizer and can be found in many cosmetics and skincare products. When produced for external application, the oil is usually refined and bleached, giving it a pale yellow color.

Avocado oil is a heart-healthy, unsaturated-fat oil, high in oleic acid. It contains vitamin E and also helps the body absorb other fat-soluble vitamins. Avocado oil is a good source of monounsaturated fat which has been linked to reducing LDL cholesterol and increasing HDL cholesterol.

Roasted garlic not only smells spectacular, but garlic can also help lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation as well as support the immune system, and reduce blood clotting.
