I feel as though I blinked and August turned into October. Fall happens that way for me most of the time. When my kids lived at home and would head back to school at the end of the summer, it felt like I hit fast forward right up until the December holidays. Now that my world should be a little slower around here, I'm taking advantage of all aspects of life.
Today's offering is a simple and elegant carrot bisque. I love this velvety soup all by itself, with a hearty whole-grain roll and a steaming mug of apple cider. But it also makes a beautiful soup course for a fall-themed dinner party, or it would be perfect alongside a leftover turkey sandwich after Thanksgiving.
