Mushroom Merlot Bisque A cup was just the right amount of this very rich soup, featuring a decadent amount of cream, chunks of fresh mushrooms and strong overtones of parmesean. The saltiness of the cheese complimented the sweetness of the cream (and maybe the Merlot?) well. I thought I caught the ( Read more... ) -
