The gourmet market/ cafe’ that I used to work at had this great vegetable bisque. I wish that I had the original recipe from there. Surprisingly this is the only vegetable bisque recipe that I have since been able to find. If you know of any others I’d be thrilled to know about them! **if you like this, you can also try using reduced-fat Havarti, Colby, or Gouda**
