Great tasting broth, but too many onions, and the garlic needed to be sauteed longer. It was still hard. So, I would recommend cutting down on the onions, and sauteeing the garlic longer.

Very yummy! This was my first attempt at roasting peppers and it was very easy. If you like a chunkier soup, you may add some diced or stewed tomatoes along with the crushed tomatoes. Pair with some crusty multi-grain bread with garlic and sea salt and you have a satisfying meal. I will make this again.

Yummy!

This soup was SO good. I ate if for lunch 5 days in a row, and even my boyfriend ate it. He NEVER eats the healthy soups I make! (Although, he added cheese). I LOVE the aroma of the roasted red peppers when I make them, and the taste of the soup was SO good. It was nice to have a different flavor, a bit of sweetness.

Awesome soup

I used tomatoes and peppers from my garden ~ the flavor was amazing. The adjustments I made were using 4 cups peeled, seeded, chopped tomatoes and 1-1/2 tablespoons basil in place of the canned tomatoes. I only used one 14 ounce can or organic chicken broth, as the tomatoes provided the rest of the liquid. A great recipe! Thanks.
