Wow! I was surprised at how good this soup was. We substituted 2 12 oz jars of roasted peppers for the fresh (which really cut down on the time it took to make it), and used coconut milk instead of the cream, but otherwise didn't change a thing. It was slightly spicy (which we love) and had an excellent flavor. Definitely recommend this soup, and we will make it again for sure!!Reply
