Fresh Tomato and Pepper Bisque image

I basically came up with this at the end of summer and picked all my tomatoes, bell and banana peppers and did not know what to do with them all! Threw everything in a pot and used the imagination. I served it with a dollop of sour cream and chips. Try topping with grilled cheese croutons. Make it your own!

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was a little disappointed with the results. The soup was too thin and watery, and the flavors were not as bold as I had hoped. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
