Carrot and Red Pepper Soup probably isn't something you thought you'd be making but once you try it, it is quite easy to crave and make many times over. I first made a version of this soup as it was suggested while I was pregnant because it is healthy as can be for you. I continue to eat this soup because despite its few calories it packs a punch with its depth of flavour and ease of preparation.

FAQ
A stand blender or food processor with the S blade work great to puree. Be careful with the steam when using these appliances, work in batches.
Yes, I have made this with yellow, orange and red pepper they all yield the same great soup!
Yes! Place in an airtight container or bag and freeze for up to 4 months. Defrost in fridge and reheat on the stove. Do not freeze the cream if you are using it. Simply wait to add that until serving.
Nope! You can simply sauté them in the soup pot. This is quicker but I personally think you develop more flavor by roasting. Either way is delicious though.
