Mushroom Bisque
Food has the power to bring people together, even in the most unexpected ways. Take mushrooms, an ingredient that could divide some households like it does ours (Chip and I love them—the kids, not so much). But when you give yourself permission to get creative in the kitchen, magic happens. That’s the story behind today’s entrée: Mushroom Bisque.
This creamy, savory soup is filled with onions, carrots, heavy cream, and of course, mushrooms. It’s simple to make but filling and flavorful. I like to serve soup with something you can dip, so I’m making a crunchy French bread with Garlic-Chive Compound Butter. To counter the rich bisque, I’m keeping the appetizer light with Cherry Burrata—sliced cherries, balsamic reduction, and lemon zest spooned with Burrata cheese. I’m finishing off the meal with a Chocolate Molten Cake for dessert.
See you in the kitchen!
