  1. I am definitely going to try this soup soon! The next time you roast peppers, roast more of them and stuff some of them with cheese and grill it (http://www.simrancooks.blogspot.com/2012/02/seared-piquillo-peppers-stuffed-with.html) or toss it in a salad.
    Yum! Now I have to try making this soup.
