SUMMER GARDEN BISQUE ๐๐ฟ๐
Hello my Dearest Foodies,
Although, I don't have my own vegetable garden and neither my landlord, I am lucky enough to get some veggies from my friendly neighbors. Right now is still early for most of other goodies, but herbs are already growing wild, so I was given bouquet of an Italian parsley, little bit of sage, chives and peppermint.
I had cauliflower in the refrigerator and I have almost always spinach, so an idea for yummy bisque recipe was born, lol. Well I did not use the peppermint, but otherwise I have include it all. It turned out absolutely delicious and refreshing for this time of year, because it can be eaten cool. It is also highly nutritious and almost saturated fat free!!! Yet, the texture and flavor is very creamy!

โข See how do you like the thickness and if you find it too thick, you may add more boiled water. It depends about the size of your cauliflower.
