Must Try Mushroom Tomato Bisque

I love mushroom soup, but commercial preparations are often salty and filled with cream.  Thanks to my handy soup cookbook, A Good Day For Soup, I was able to make a tasty and healthy version..  It's a nice soup for a rainy day.

Sautee in a large soup pot until soft:

1 large yellow onion
3/4 pound mushrooms (I like crimini)
2 teaspoons tarragon
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil

Add:

2 large tomatoes
1 to 2 teaspoons of celery salt
1/2 baked potato
1 cup bread crumbs
black pepper to taste

Bring to a boil, then turn heat down and simmer for 20 minutes.  Puree in blender.  Serve!
