Directions
Roasted Red Pepper Soup, I love red peppers and it seems that every soup I tried that showcased their flavor failed miserably! It took me 5 tries before I got the results that I wanted and this recipe is the culmination of 3 years of tweeking! It makes a big batch of soup but I purposely make big batches since this soup freezes really well I’ve even used it as a pasta sauce! You can adjust the heat to suit your tastes but I have a low tolerace for a burning mouth so as written this will have a small bite to it without smacking you in the head , Great roast pepper flavor!, This was really good soup We used it as a dip for scooper chips the next day even It’s very versatile I didn’t even mind the 4 big carrots in it, and I can’t stand carrots I did not have the chili oil so I added a dash of chili powder It was very good stuff I will be making it again Made and reviewed for PAC Fall 2008 Thanks 🙂
