What to Do With Red Peppers

I love red peppers. They are my favourite of the various peppers available. I like them both for their brilliant colour and for their taste. Normally I eat them in red pepper hummus, as canned grilled peppers and peppers roasted with meat or chopped up in salads.

The other day while doing my usual blog reading I happened on a simple recipe for Red Pepper Soup.  Anyone who has been reading my blog for awhile knows I only make simple and easy recipes.  If you would like to try it too, you can find the recipe at my blogging friend Lala's beautiful blog. You can get there by clicking here.

I didn't even wait for the soup to cool after I blended it because I made it for lunch and am in a bit of a rush today. It was still very nice warm and the rest has been saved for a refreshing cool soup later. Tip:  Make sure you peel off all the skins of the veggies or you will find some pieces in your blended soup.

Here it is garnished with freshly ground black pepper. I love freshly ground black pepper. I also added a dollop of plain yogurt before I ate it :-)
Enjoy!

This soup is visually appealing and stimulates my appetite. Looks like delicious either warm or cool, and a dollop of plain yogurt is a good idea. I’d like to try it. Thank you, Joyful. Stay cool and have happy days ahead.

Joyful said...

Theresa, you're so welcome! It takes dedication and committment to do what you are doing to keep these soldiers bathed in prayer. God bless you.

Joyful said...

Lydia, you are very welcome. I know how stressful everything can be and it helps when others are praying for you :-)

Joyful said...

Thank you, Clair!

Joyful said...

Stardust, I'm glad you like the presentation of the soup. it is so often that our appetites are stimulated visually. The weather here this summer is not so hot, so it suits me fine. Hope you are cool where you are!

Barbara, I assumed the red pepper was nutritious but I was very pleased to discover just how many benefits it has and to learn that it is good for people who suffer from high cholesterol.

Joyful said...

KP, aren't red peppers just a beautiful colour?!

Joyful said...

Shanda, thanks!
