Cooking Tips

• To easily remove the skin from the roasted red peppers, place them in a plastic bag for a few minutes after roasting. The steam will help loosen the skin.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the soup.
• If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can skip the step of pureeing the soup and leave it with a more rustic texture.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the soup on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Serve the soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
