What’s better than sipping on some nice hot soup on a cold winter day? Nothing. So I created a nice creamy, roasted, soup that is just for those days when you want to sit next to the fire while curled up with a book.
The best part about this roasted red pepper soup is that it is incredibly easy to make and takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes from start to finish.
I thickened this delicious dish with xanthan gum, but the roasted red peppers also helps it to thicken. I really enjoy a nice thick soup, but you can skip the xanthan gum if you want. It’s all about preference! I also used store bought whole roasted red peppers to save time.
