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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh zucchini and spinach will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh zucchini, you can use frozen zucchini, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Zucchini and spinach cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Add some protein: If you want a more filling soup, you can add some protein, such as chicken, beef, or tofu. You can also add some beans or lentils for a vegetarian option.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season your soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired.
  • Garnish your soup: Before serving, you can garnish your soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, or some chopped fresh herbs.

Conclusion:
