Delicious and makes me hungry thinking about it

Wow, Greg!

I just finished supper, and now you're making me hungry. This sounds like a real winner.

"Chop mushrooms and stems very fine "

By very fine, do you mean like a duxelle (sp?)? Or a bit coarser than that; sort of like a fine dice?

"Add the flower and...."

I thought I was the only one whose fingers tripped on their tongue. :>)

Mushroom??? well I don't like it , but may be for people who doesn't like mushroom, they can do it with carrots instead, I try it! and my family loved it! so may be you should try another option for this Bisque, If you want to check the original recipe ,you can do it here recipebuddys.com. See you next time for a recipe exchange!

There is one thing that really bugs me and it is for a person to say: I don't like that" when it comes to foods. Sounds like a whiny spoiled brat of a kid, or a freakin' rude adult who has no manners! I would not for that reason: go have a look at your recipe food exchange! My 9 year old will not say "I don't like that" in a whiny voice, she just simply says "next time I'd prefer...."

It would have been much more mature and polite to have simply given your suggestion for a Carrot Bisque as an alternative to the mushroom.

Sounds like spam. I for one love mushrooms!
