Excellent!! I prepared this soup early in the day with my only change being to use 1 tsp. hot sauce instead of the red pepper flakes. (For the chicken stock I used 1 can of Campbell's chicken broth with 1 can water.) I then refrigerated it (without the milk) until serving time. I added 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup whipping cream and reheated gently. We really enjoyed this while waiting for our homemade pizza to "rest". Note: I roasted the peppers on my gas range. Got them quite black and then put in a paper bag for about 15 minutes. Scraped the blackened skins off and diced for the soup. In a previous life I might have been tempted to make this soup with raw peppers but I must point out that they have to be roasted to make this recipe.
