An excellent and creamy smooth bisque. The rosemary added just the right accent, and the amount of cayenne was not overpowering. I especially enjoyed the added layer sweetness from the red bell pepper. The mellow color of the bisque and soothing flavors pleased us all! Thanks, Bev for sharing this wonderful recipe, we all salute you. It was just perfect to serve for lunch.
