Advantages: Freshly made and far better than tinned or shop brought soup.

Disadvantages: None, its good and healthy for you.

Creamy pepper soup is a wonderful winter warmer or nice to eat either cold in the summer and so easy to make. I love to make this and see peoples reaction as they are not quite sure what to expect.

Ingredients as follows.

3 red capiscum peppers.
2 Carrots.
2 onions.
A clove of garlic (Optional)
Table spoon of black pepper. ( Yes thats right a tablespoon)
Salt to taste.
Vegetable stock cube.
A pot of double cream.

Method.

Halve the peppers and remove seeds. Peel onions and carrots then roughly chop all the vegetables into 1 inch pieces. Put all ingredients except the double cream into saucepan with approximately two or three pints of water. Boil for half an hour.

After half an hour remove all the vegetables and whizz with a hand held blender or food processor until all vegetables are pureed. Return the vegetables to the liquid and stir. Stir in the double cream.

To serve:

Serve hot with nice freshly baked crispy bread.


Taste.

The taste is out of this world. It is smooth creamy with a slight taste of tomato although there are no tomatoes in it. The taste of the capiscum comes through which is subtle but nice and refreshing. The bite of the black pepper warms the back of the throat and leaves a pleasant tingling feeling.


Alternatively leave to cool and place in the fridge to be served cold.

This can also be frozen and reheated at a later date so none gets wasted. Mind you saying that none ever gets left behind for us to freeze.

Enjoy

Summary: Easy and quick to make, disappears even faster!
