A bisque is the gold standard of smooth soups - silky, rich, and intensely flavored. This mushroom bisque delivers all that luxury with deep, earthy mushroom flavor that rivals any fine dining establishment.
The secret is straining the soup for an impossibly smooth texture, then finishing with a generous amount of cream. It's indulgent, it's elegant, and it's worth every calorie.
