Tips:
- Use fresh pimentos for the best flavor. Jarred pimentos can be used, but they will not have as much flavor.
- Be sure to drain the pimentos well before using them. This will help to prevent the soup from being watery.
- If you don't have any celery on hand, you can use an equal amount of chopped green bell pepper.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your taste. If you like a spicier soup, add more cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder soup, use less cayenne pepper.
- Garnish the soup with a sprinkle of paprika or crumbled bacon before serving.
Conclusion:
Cream of pimento soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover pimentos. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
