"This recipe comes from the October 2009 issue of Better Homes and Gardens. It is a little different from similar recipes, in that it uses roasted red peppers and refrigerated shredded hash browns. I haven't made this recipe, but I have made other soups with hash browns and they were wonderful. I can't wait to try this one!"

I love to cook, but with two daughters with busy schedules, I'm looking for quick and easy recipes that don't taste quick and easy. My husband is in the Army, so our travels have taken us around Europe and to Australia, as well as to many places here in the U.S. My cooking tastes reflects the foods we've enjoyed in the places we've lived. <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/my3chefs2009final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/BANNERS/BellywarmersSTKR.jpg"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
