Right out out of the gate I am going to tell you don’t bother telling me this is not a Bisque. I know. It does not have seafood or seafood stock which a bisque typically has.

It is named such simply because it is named for a good friend of mine who requested I recreate a soup that The Great American Bagel used to have on their menu.

They are no longer in our town, and she hasn’t seen it on their menu in other towns, so that is where I came in.

NO CLUE WHAT SO EVER what the original tastes like or what is in it. I simply went off what she said. “Please make a tomato’y creamy vegetarian soup with southwest black beans, corn and southwest stuff.. in it”

This was the result. She loves it. My Veg Friends Love it. So it’s going on the books!
