SPICY RED BELL PEPPER SOUP



Spicy Red Bell Pepper Soup image

I love this recipe because it uses fresh, sweet red bell peppers, as opposed to roasted red peppers. It's full of other fresh vegetables and thyme, too, and it freezes exceptionally well. Rice is used as the thickening agent, rather than cream. If you don't like a lot of spice, reduce the amount of cayenne and red pepper flakes.

  • Add some spice: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the soup. You can also add some chopped fresh jalapeño peppers for an extra kick.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the soup with some fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
