NEW ENGLAND SOUP FACTORY'S SPINACH AND ZUCCHINI BISQUE

New England Soup Factory's Spinach and Zucchini Bisque image

Another recipe from the New England Soup Factory, known for their hearty and unusual combinations. The roasted leeks lend a smoky spice to the normally mild spinach and zucchini. I loved to get this when we lived in Boston; at least this way I can make it here in TX. From the Boston Globe paper in 1998.

For a smoother soup, blend it in a blender or food processor until desired consistency is reached.
To make the soup thicker, add more cornstarch or flour. You can also add 1-2 slices of bread, torn into small pieces, and blend until smooth.
