Wonderfully quick to prepare and extremely tasty. But I did make a few changes: just cannot resist doing so with versatile recipes such as soups. Like KITTENCAL I always add onions and garlic in recipes such as this if they are not among the listed ingredients, so I added 1 chopped leek, 1 chopped onion (I love the subtle difference in flavours between the two) 3 cloves of garlic and probably about a teaspoon of a rosemary and sage blend in step two. I used only 31/2 cups of chicken broth so that I could add 1/2 cup of white wine. But otherwise followed the very clear instructions exactly. I'll happily make this again, Boomette. Thanks for sharing.

I love cream soups and this is just another example of a simple, but great cream soup. Just perfect for those cool days headed this way. Thanks for the great recipe.

I took kitten's suggestion of adding some garlic and onion to it. Very good and different from plain old tomato soup.

With a few ingredient additions this was very good and easy too! I sauteed a small onion and some fresh garlic in with the peppers, I also added in cayenne pepper also added in a few tablespoons whipping cream and topped it off with parmesan cheese, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)
