Medieval Times Tomato Bisque Recipe!!!
At the castle we typically make it by the gallon – 80 gallons at a time to be exact. So, we played around with the recipe a little and think we have come up with one that should work for a family of four and not a castle of 1,000. Here is what we came up with – please let us know what you think.
