Bell Pepper Soup

We just love eating creamy soups for lunch during the winter months. This bell pepper soup makes a great side to a grilled cheese sandwich and is a quick and delicious way to add veggies to a meal. 


First, dice up three bell peppers and half a cup of white onion.


In a pot, add three cups of low sodium vegetable broth, diced bell peppers and white onion, two tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes, sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Bring to a boil and let simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes until peppers are tender. 


Let soup cool then transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth and serve.
