Very good low fat/low cal thick and filling soup! I used 1 green bell pepper and 1 red bell pepper (didn't measure but I think it was about the amount suggested), skipped the wine and used a bit less chicken broth and a bit extra water to make up for the difference. I also think this is going to freeze wonderfully for lunches. Next time I may add some tabascio, but it was fine just the way it was. Thanks for sharing!
