Potato & Red Pepper Bisque
Sheri loves soup, and she especially loves potato soup! when she worked at the restaurant, we were a good team. I would make new ideas which we would try together and critique. Some were bad ideas... but, others were STARS! On this particular day, I was trying new twists on soups; we wanted to have a creamy potato soup but, without all the cream and thickness involved. I also wanted just a little kick of spice. This is what I came up with.
Cheers!
