Morel Mushroom Bisque image

If you are a fan of fresh (or even dried) morel mushrooms, this is the soup for you. Everyone who eats morels knows that they go best sauteed with onions, garlic and butter. This incorporates all of those ingredients to create a magnificently creamy soup, strong with morel flavor, but not too overpowering. This isn't healthy eating, and I don't recommend trying to make it that way. Just eat less of it! Serve with crusty bread or garlic croutons.

I'm allergic to mushrooms, so I used shiitake mushrooms instead. The soup was still delicious!

I added a few extra cloves of garlic to the soup and it gave it a really nice flavor.

I made this soup for a dinner party and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the earthy flavor of the morel mushrooms and the creamy texture of the soup.

This morel mushroom bisque is a delightful and flavorful soup. The combination of morel mushrooms, shallots, white wine, and cream creates a rich and creamy broth that is both hearty and elegant.
