Roasted Red Pepper & Gouda Bisque Recipe: This Slow-cooker Bisque Recipe Is Creamy Comfort Food by Ann Marie Gardinier Halstead
Though I don’t have it often, perhaps my all-time favorite soup recipe is technically not a soup, but a bisque: roasted red pepper and gouda. When I taught at a university in northern NY I spent a lot of time at a local café. It was there that I worked on my tenure files, wrote my first play and wrote my first book. I owe a lot to that little café and its friendly staff, not to mention their chai lattes, cranberry walnut salad and roasted red pepper and gouda bisque.
It’s been years since I’ve eaten there, and in fact the café is now closed, but I still think of that special place and their food. The good news: I finally found a recipe that comes very close to their wonderful bisque.
