Another flashback to our So Delicious recipe contests. This simple recipe for carrot red pepper soup was submitted by Hidemi Walsh. It’s a mild and slightly sweet soup, especially when made with in-season carrots and red bell peppers. But you can spice it up with a pinch or crushed red pepper or cayenne, if desired. Or you could go a different flavor route, adding smoke paprika, curry, harissa, or fresh herbs. It’s a versatile, clean recipe to work with! And it just happens to be vegan and top allergen-free. We thought it was the perfect plant-based, spring soup to re-feature for food allergy awareness week!

Just made it in my soymilk maker. Delicious! I added 1/8 tsp turmeric instead of salt. Lovely color & flavor.
What a fun way to make it! Thanks for sharing feedback and your modification Moira.
