I did a few adjustments to this recipe to suit out tastes, I added in 2 heaping tablespoons of fresh minced garlic and 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes while cooking the onions and I also added in some roasted red bell peppers from a jar that I added in only because I had them already open and in my fridge at the time, used half and half cream and lots of freshly ground black pepper, since we love red bell peppers this is a wonderful soup I look forward to making again soon, thanks for sharing hon!
