This was GREAT! I doubled the spices since we like things hot and used brown rice. Served with some toasted rye croutons and a tiny wedge of chili-lime gouda for garnish. Raves from my guests!
This soup is incredible! Fresh healthy tasty ingredients...what else could you ask for?!? This reminds me of a soup I used to be able to get at a small sandwich cafe in DC...but they stopped offering it. I'm so glad I found this recipe! Also I don't understand why anyone would complain about this soup being too "hot " when it clearly states that it is a spicy soup. Things that make you go "Hmmm." YUM YUM YUM!!!
Very good! I was a little skeptical about using rice as a thickener but it worked beautifully. This is also a great recipe for using up any extra veggies that are hanging around the fridge. I garnished this with shrimp and peppers very pretty. Thanks!
I chose this recipe over some other pepper soup recipes because it didn't use a cream base. For those who are watching their weight, this recipe delivers the flavor without the fat and calories. Very good and a great way to use that summer bounty of peppers. This is also a convenient recipe for not requiring roasting the peppers.
Ok I did alter the final dish but made the recipe as is for a wonderful base. I turned this in to a seafood soup. At the end I added shrimp scallops & crab. It just seemed natural! So good! The flavors were restaurant quality.
I followed this recipe because I had 2 pounds of small red and yellow peppers that I needed to use. This recipe came out great. I also used 4 carrots and skipped the celery. I also added about 12 ounces of mushrooms. I did not puree the soup. This was an excellent soup to serve on a hot summer afternoon.
I really enjoyed making this soup! Pretty alright as-is nice flavors but it's missing something (I don't know what! But I've been trying to figure it out all day.). Helpful additions were: lime and lemon juice extra garlic powder and dried basil - t hese additions made it a lot better for me. But it's still missing something I can't quite put my finger on. I think some shredded chicken corn or beans might help the flavor. Thanks for the recipe it's nice to find one using fresh bell pepper.
Delicious! Great soup recipe and fantastically easy! It blends up really nice and is nice and spicy. I will give it five stars but I did have to alter it slightly to fit the ingredients I had. First I halved the recipe which still made lots of soup. I also used two (small) red peppers and two (small) yellow peppers. Next time I will make sure to make it with only red peppers though the yellow peppers taste nice the soup turns out mostly yellow. I also didn t have garlic cloves so I used garlic powder in their stead. I also substituted chilli powder for the cayenne pepper and it doesn t overpower the soup either. Thanks!
I was in a hurry so I used the food processor and chopped each vegetable. When I got to the point of cooling the soup in order to blend it we were all starved so we ate it as-is. It was fantastic. I loved the flavor combination. I will definitely save this as a recipe for when we have guests!
