| Ceci-Roasted Red Pepper Soup |
For my second foray into Appetite for Reduction: 125 Fast and Filling Low-Fat Vegan Recipes
I was attracted to a soup called Ceci-Roasted Red Pepper Soup. Mmm, doesn’t that sound good? It has all the flavours I love; roasted bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, chickpeas, coriander and rosemary. I was a little nervous that the called for quantity of rosemary would overpower the soup and after tasting it I definitely found it to be the dominant flavour. It’s a very hearty soup and I will definitely make it again but next time I’ll use less rosemary. I also found it slightly salty and after tasting thought it needed a tiny bit of sweetness so I squeezed in a squirt of agave nectar which seemed to help. This soup made for an easy week-night supper and with a few, tiny tweaks it gets a big, thumbs up!

My lovely friend Kathryn has been cooking up lots of yummy food while I've been distracted by other things. She's way ahead of me on our cooking challenge so I will link all of her entries here. Check out her most recent dishes!
I'm not a huge red pepper fan. (I tend to like peppers such as jalapeños.) But, this, with some tweaks you mentioned, looks delicious. And very pretty dish, the food and the plate!!
ReplyDeleteLooking yummy! I was just thinking I'd like to make a soup of the leftovers in my opened jar of roasted peppers... Shame I don't have your cookbook at hand! ;)
ReplyDeleteI finally got this book from the library and am already planning to buy a copy when I can. It has so many recipes that sound super yummy and not intimidating. YAY!
ReplyDeleteThe roasted red pepper flavour was not strong and actually I wish I could have detected more of it in the soup.
ReplyDeleteKathryn, I don't think you will be disappointed in this book.
