Creamy asiago bisque is the perfect big ol' bowl of comfort once the weather turns cooler. Crisp, crumbled bacon, freshly shredded Asiago Cheese, and parsley top this cheesy, soul soothing soup for nothing but perfect rich coziness in each spoonful.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups diced white onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 3 cups chopped carrots
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 4 cups chopped and peeled potatoes cut into small bite sized pieces
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 2 cups shredded Asiago cheese
  • 6-8 strips of bacon cooked crisp & crumbled

Instructions

  • In a dutch oven, or large pot, melt the butter over medium high heat, watching carefully so it doesn't burn.
    6 tbsp butter
  • As soon as the butter's melted, add in the onions, celery, and carrots and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender.
    3 cups diced white onion, 1 cup chopped celery, 3 cups chopped carrots
  • Stir in the potatoes, wine, and stock. Reduce to a simmer, over medium low, cover, and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
    4 cups chopped and peeled potatoes, 1 cup white wine, 2 cups chicken stock
  • Remove the pot from heat and stir in the cream and Asiago, continuing until the soup's smooth.
    2 cups half and half, 2 cups shredded Asiago cheese
  • You decide the consistency-- serve as is, or use an immersion blender to churn it up until it's one creamy consistency.
  • Garnish with bacon and more cheese before serving.
    6-8 strips of bacon

Notes

  • I don't recommend freezing this soup as it has cream in it and won't freeze well.
  • Get creative with your toppings! While we use crumbled bacon and more cheese, you could also serve it with croutons, chopped parsley, or crackers.
  • Don't want to use wine? Substitute more stock instead.
  • Want to make this soup vegetarian? Use vegetable broth and omit the bacon!
