ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER SOUP
Soups are always healthy,filling and comforting.I make some soup or the other once in a while and my family enjoys it too.When the weather is cold,this even more awesome.I tried it for the monsoon season and was loved y all.A soup with vibrant colour and simmered to perfection,this will never go wrong to add colour to any dinner menu.Red Bell Pepper has cancer combating lycopene and tastes with a mild sweet flavour. The creamy texture and roasted aroma gives all the more taste to the soup.Red Peppers are a source of Vitamin A,C and folate.It also helps in night vision.They are packed with anti oxidants and burns more calories.

I have used red bell pepper in salads,pizza toppings, manchurian and fried rice.This was very new kind of an italian soup and was a yummy choice to make.Pair it up with bread sticks,rusk or crackers or simple toasted bread.The butter in which the veggies are roaasted leaves a memorable taste to your tongues.When you are lazy and are not in a mood to cook dinner,try and make this soup and you will surely thank me..
