Lindsey,
I made this soup a few weeks ago and it is phenomenal!
I roasted the peppers after grilling steaks for dinner one evening, while the coals were still hot
Full of vegetables and flavor. I froze some extra containers for quick lunches, and it is great with freshly shaved parmesan cheese and sour cream as a garnish. I added the garlic croutons as well.
I found that this soup makes a great low calorie, filling meal, either for lunch or dinner.
Fantastic and I can’t wait to make it again. Kudos to Karen.
