This is another of my favorite ways to have veggies incorporated into a meal. This smooth and buttery bisque is a flavorful way to get the kids to enjoy veggies. When topped with a dollop of sour cream there is a delicious mix of textures and the taste tantalizes your taste buds.
Also give this Bourbon Sweet Potato Bisque with Walnuts or Watercress Soup a try.
