Creamy Triple-Mushroom Bisque With Turkey

Submitted by horker1

"My friend served this at a dinner party last night, and all of us in attendance asked for the recipe. She said it was from an old issue of Cooking Light. This is a wonderful and rich tasting bisque and doesn't taste light at all! The original recipe states assorted wild mushrooms can be substituted for either the shiitake or portobello."

I've made this recipe for years. Glad to see it here too. I usually omit the turkey and rice and add more wine and balsamic. It's always a hit and tastes very decadent!
