Red Pepper Carrot Soup
"This is from TOH. This looks so unusual. I love having soup on rainy fall evenings and this looks like one that is perfect for that. I will probably used jarred roasted red peppers and skip the first step. I bet this would freeze well too."

Wow is this great! Would recommend adding the orange juice and zest gradually to achieve a taste that appeals to you. Was a bit overpowering the first time I tried this recipe. Scaled it back and it was perfect (for us). Also added a few TBs sugar. Wanted a cream soup and adding heavy cream to the finished product was wonderful. Simmered it longer so it was reduced by half (approx 1 hr). Took it to my nursing job and had to print the recipe for several co-workers. Will be posting a picture. A really unique and TASTY soup--try it, you'll be glad you did!! THANKS FOR POSTING! -
This is fabulous! I used olive oil instead of butter & vegetable stock so it was vegan! I also cheated a smidge & used jarred roasted red peppers (make sure they're in water not vinegar)Wonderfully velvety texture. Made for ZWT3 A-Waltzing Matilda Challenge.

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
