Tomato Bisque question

[Guest guest]

I have problems with eating soups at most restaurants. Are you sure it is

vegetarian? Most restaurants put chicken fat and or broth and other things in

their soups.

recipe - Tomato Bisque

 

Hi,

I went to Panera Bread this weekend in my hometown and they always have the best

soups. They had a new seasonal one this weekend called Tomato Bisque. It was

WONDERFUL Does anyone have any good recipes for this soup, I had never had it

before.

 

Thanks,

Jamie

Oh, can I come into this discussion? I have had some *horrible* experiences -

in one place, I kid you not, they assured us, after discussing with the chef,

that

there was *no* meat or meatproducts, including stock or fat, including

chicken (which to some chefs is not 'meat'), etc., and so we had a strongly

flavoured mushroom and veggie soup with wonderful herbs and spices. And

there, at the bottom of my big soup bowl, as I got to the second half of the

chunky soup, was a piece of (I assume) chicken bone with skin adhering to it.

They nearly had their soup returned to them in an unceremonious manner.

We were away from home at the time - away from our own city/country - so we

just pointed it out to the waiter then left. And yes we paid. Jetlag and

cultural

strangeness makes for submissive behaviour sometimes.

 

BUT we have an Italian restaurant near us that the waitress *and* chef assure

us uses NO animal products in its veggie soups, which are wonderful (twice

tested now). Are we kidding ourselves? I hope not!

 

Best luck,
