Roasting your own bell peppers is the secret to the top-notch flavor in this bell pepper soup. Roast the peppers, then prepare the soup in two separate batches. Pour the red and yellow soups into the bowl all at once for an impressive “yin/yang” presentation.


Roasting the bell peppers adds so much flavor to this colorful bell pepper soup.

Recipe Notes

This soup will keep for up to 5 days in two separate covered containers (one for yellow, the other for the red pepper soup) in the refrigerator.

When reheating the soups, stir in water to thin as desired (or, for a creamy texture, stir in half-and-half or cream).

Refrigerate the vinaigrette in a covered container for up to 2 days.
