Spicy Red Pepper Soup

Spicy Red Pepper Soup

I’m stocking my freezer with one of my favourite fuss-free soups that I’ve been making for years. That’s how much it is enjoyed around here. This spicy roasted red pepper soup is a hearty vegan option offering a triple pepper threat and will definitely be on repeat. For this soup you can easily use bottled fire-roasted peppers as a time-saver. I had a stash (from the summer) in my freezer. Mine got a dollop of sour cream and my hubby wanted his without. 

Warning: this soup is spicy!
