ZUCCHINI BISQUE



Zucchini Bisque image

Recipe is from the Appetizers from A - Z cookbook. This is a chilled soup; although I am quite sure you could serve it warm if desired. You can substitute low fat sour cream and cream cheese. Prep time does not include "chill" time in refrigerator.

NEW ENGLAND SOUP FACTORY'S SPINACH AND ZUCCHINI BISQUE



New England Soup Factory's Spinach and Zucchini Bisque image

Another recipe from the New England Soup Factory, known for their hearty and unusual combinations. The roasted leeks lend a smoky spice to the normally mild spinach and zucchini. I loved to get this when we lived in Boston; at least this way I can make it here in TX. From the Boston Globe paper in 1998.
