Bisque is a creamy soup, traditionally of French origin, known for its smooth texture and concentrated flavor. Although it is classically prepared with seafood, it has evolved over time and has been adapted to different ingredients, such as carrots in this delicious version. In several Latin American countries, this preparation may have various names, although the term "bisque" remains quite recognized due to its French culinary roots. In Mexico, for example, it is often found as "curry carrot cream," while in other places it may simply be called spiced creamy carrot soup. This recipe reflects the fusion between European cuisine and the characteristic flavors of curry, a spice originally from South Asia, making it an exotic and healthy option to enjoy any time of the year.
