Pepper Pot Soup

Submitted by Denny2

"I used to make this soup at a restaurant I worked at and it was by far one of the favorites. You can just use green peppers if you want, but I prefer to use a combination of peppers to add more color to the soup."

Great soup Denny. I added a clove of pressed garlic and some corn and it went really nice.

I just made this for the first time and it's so good! I didn't use any water, just 4 cups homemade salt-free chicken broth, and then I added 2 cups heavy whipping cream at the end (no milk or water). Because I used broth instead of water, I reduced the bouillon powder to 1 tablespoon. I increased the black pepper to 2 teaspoons. This is a delicious soup!

I used to make a soup similar to this about 25 years ago, and was looking for a recipe with similar ingredients when I came upon this one. Only changes I made were I chopped the potatoes rather the grating them, and I added mushrooms. I used more peppers too. Reduced bouillion to 2 tablespoons, because I used broth instead of water. Thanks for sharing your recipe Denny! I will be making this again!!

I love this soup the only change I made was after the veggies where soft but before the flour mixture was added I put the soup in the food processor. Then I heated it back up and finished it off. Man it was good I think maybe next time I will try and add more red and green peppers and one or two more carrots.
