While tomato paste can fix bland soup, it can also thicken it. If you add tomato paste to your roux or at any point while the soup simmers, it will help thicken the soup up.<\/li>
Consider making a slurry and adding it your soup. A slurry is one part cornstarch to two parts cold water. You don't need to use that much for a slurry to work either. A teaspoon or tablespoon of cornstarch will suffice.<\/li><\/ul>"

Tomato bisque is also a type of soup, but it often uses milk or heavy whipping cream. The texture of tomato bisque will be creamier and richer, as a result. If this sounds like your recipe, check out Chef John's Tomato Bisque.<\/p>"
