Climate here is so chill that I feel like having soup daily but am lazy to make....so thought to plan for a posting soup recipes so that I get motivated to make soup atleast to post it here and we can enjoy it as well. Check out the soup recipes that I've posted already.I made this red bellpepper soup long back when I found fresh red bellpepper during my weekly vegetable shopping, I was not very confident while making this but loved it to the core when I tasted a sip...it tasted soo good. The bread sticks that I posted will be an apt combo for this soup.We had the soup with warm toasted bread.

Method:

1. Prick a fork into a medium sized red bellpepper and roast it in medium flame.Turn over and keep roasting so that roasting is done evenly.Roast the bellpepper till its completely cooked and tender.Then let it cool down.Now scrap off the outer skin with a knife.Discard the seeds and chop into small cubes,Set aside.

My Notes:

• Adjust water quantity according to the consistency you need the soup to be.I added just 1/4 cup water.
• Make sure to roast bellpepper evenly, roast it till completely cooked.
• You can even use milk for a creamier version.Add it at the last stage and let it boil for a good 5mins in low flame.
• Adding tomato sauce gives a slight tangy taste.
• Use freshly ground pepper powder for a great flavour.
