Delish! Don't skip the lemon juice; it adds a wonderful bright note. Good way to use peppers that are past their peak. It's great without the dairy added, in the event of allergies. I'll be making this a lot. Thanks, Grapefruit! -
I used butter. I didn't use the lemon juice. I used half-and-half cream. This is very yummy. Great flavors. Thanks grapefruit :) Made for Healthy tag game -
Made for PAC Fall 2007! This was a great soup, that would be wonderful with a side salad for lunch! I made this as a dish for dinner tonight, and it had a great taste. I made sure not to pulse it too long, so there were tiny bits of red pepper that had a nice watery taste to them. Thanks for the recipe, grapefruit!
