Autumn Bisque
I like cozy comfort soups that taste creamy—without the cream. This one’s full of good stuff like rutabagas, leeks, fresh herbs and almond milk. —Merry Graham, Newhall, California

Cut recipe in half to do a test batch prior to Thanksgiving. Co workers were the judges. All thumbs up. I did make a few slight changes. For the butterballs I used 2 sticks of butter and just dumped in the chives parsley and lemon till it tasted right. Will be used for a bunch of different soups and will easily last two months, but I doubt they will last that long. One other change is that I added more garlic. My crew loves garlic. Other than that, a fabulous recipe! Thanks for sharing Merry! Love from your neighbor in Castaic.
Hi Jeani_Coleman,The balls are about 1 tsp in size (see the directions step 1). There are 12 tsp in 1/4 cup and then you're adding 4 1/2 tsp of herbs. You should be able to get 14 nice size balls out of that.
I haven't made this yet but how can you make 14 balls out of 1/4 cup butter. Something is not right. The butterball in the picture looks like it's at least 1 Tbs which would yield only 4.
