New England Soup Factory’s Spinach and Zucchini Bisque, 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 , Very good! You must try! I didn’t have the leeks, so it was a little different, but even without them it was wonderful Great winter time soup , Another of your soups that has become a repeatable at our house I too subbed the fennel with parsnip – only because I didn’t have one on hand (sprinkled in some fennel seed) The last making used spinach leaves fresh from the garden so good! Wonderful with the heavy cream but excellent results with half and half which I often need to use for family health issues Also enjoy this soup as is too – not using the blender to puree Yes a good soup pureed – or not! Thank you winkki
