Talk to the manager. All staff in restaurants should have access to the information for allergy information as well as to determine if it is acceptable for other dietary reasons.

A web search shows conflicting nutrition information for BJ's Tuscan Tomato Bisque.

When I was a chef, other than cream soups, I never used meat or meat broths for vegetable based soups, I thickened with either flour or cornstarch, tomato bisque is just tomato soup with chunks of tomato, even a southwestern version may have chili powder, garnishes like sour cream, yogurt and other items are vegetarian, no one would put bacon in it and not say so.

Why go to a restaurant? Make your own tomato bisque soup at home... Use vegetable stock, there are already So many recipes on the internet!
