#150 bisque

bisque- a thick rich soup made from shellfish; a pink to yellowish tan colour

- C17 French; modern, shortened from biscuit

The bisque tablecloth complemented the floral serving ware.

Nothing against the curried corn chowder at Dishes, but the corn and pumpkin bisque is BY FAR the best soup.
