A-mazing Soup

Well I just died and went to heaven and had to come back and tell you all about it!  I made an amazing tomato bisque!

I  am a huge tomatoes bisque fan!  I order it faithfully at one of my favorite restaurants called Famoso.  I never dreamed I would have a worthy comparison recipe... But today I was happily surprised!  Like I said in my last post I was given a flexitarian cook book and have been sampling all sorts of recipes from it!  Today was Spicy Tomato Bisque! This soup is seriously 'da bomb'

But don't don't listen to me, try it for yourself!
