Spicy Red Bell Pepper Soup image

I love this recipe because it uses fresh, sweet red bell peppers, as opposed to roasted red peppers. It's full of other fresh vegetables and thyme, too, and it freezes exceptionally well. Rice is used as the thickening agent, rather than cream. If you don't like a lot of spice, reduce the amount of cayenne and red pepper flakes.

The soup was bland and lacked flavor. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable.

This soup was a little too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less jalapeño pepper.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I also like to add a little bit of cooked rice or quinoa to give it a bit more substance.

I love the smoky flavor that the roasted red bell peppers give this soup. It's a really unique and delicious dish.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this soup was still really good. The sweetness of the red bell peppers balanced out the heat of the jalapeños perfectly.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover red bell peppers. I also like to add a can of black beans or corn to give it a little more substance.
