Smooth and comforting, I really like it π
This was one of the first recipes I made from your YouTube channel around three years ago. Me and my boyfriend love it, it's definitely one of our favorite creamy soups. Thanks Sadia β€οΈ
I've stumbled across this recipe on accident while looking online what to do with my zucchini harvest this morning. Did it this morning for the hubby and he loved it! Asked for seconds right after the first bowl!
So I'm printing this, it's definitely a keeper :-) I adjusted it a little.
This soup is absolutely deserving of 5 stars! I couldn't imagine what it would taste like, so I made it for dinner and shared it with a friend - we both thought it was delicious! Adding this soup to my regular rotation and looking forward to making it again (:
I also followed the crouton recipe and was so pleased with how they turned out! Fun, rustic, and simple. Who knew?
Very easy to make. Added the homemade croutons and seed mix. Very good!
I added chili oil drizzle and salt and pepper to taste and it was incredible!!
Creamy and delicious.
Simply delicious!!!!!!
Surprisingly amazing.
Delicious.
I am loving the App btw!
Amazing π€€. This recipe will go on my core dishes list.
I love this soup! So many flavours and heartwarming. I also added some left over broccoli. I think a red hot chili pepper would blend in well with the flavours.
Very nice!
This is so creamy and decadent! I love the flavor combination! At the end while purΓ©ing, I added 1tsp smoked paprika, 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, and 1/2 cup plain hummus to make it extra decadent.
A light soup that tastes amazing and is quick/easy to prepare.
One of my favorite ideas for a quick late night dinner. It's wonderfully filling yet not too heavy, despite the addition of coconut milk.
I love this. It is so creamy and comforting. I stick to the recipe except for when I am not able to find red peppers in oil. It turns out great every time. Thanks Sadia!
Hi Sadia, thanks for this recipe. I've made it yesterday and it was amazing.
Love this soup! It's a fantastic way to get in lots of healthy veg and it's so creamy and yummy! I always use roasted red peppers in a jar as that's all I can find but it is so delicious. I make this a lot during the summer!
Hi Sadia, thanks so much for this recipe! Iβve only recently discovered your blog and this is the first things Iβve made - absolutely delicious!!! And though I could not seem to find the sun-dried paprika, I actually just added the spice red paprika to add a bit more sweetness. The soup for the soul turned out delicious! Canβt wait to try more dishes following your recipes ππ€
Question: I'm entirely unable to find sun-dried bell pepper in oil at any local stores, health food stores, or on Amazon. I'm thinking I'll have to substitute with the jarred roasted red peppers instead. Do you suggest adding anything else to get more depth of flavour since I can't get the sun dried version?
I liked the recipe. However, the ingredients list does not show paprika (it does call for a 1/4 cup dried bell pepper) but the title references it and the directions call for dried paprika! Is there a mistake here?
What can we pair with this to make a full meal? I notice it's missing a significant source of protein/carbs.
I love this soup!! Made it so many times. I like to add chili oil and garnish with fresh cilantro. Thanks Sadia!
Hi! Is it ok to replace bell pepper with the long red pepper (not sure if it is ramiro) ? It is often much easier available and cheaper where I live ;)
Thank you for you work!
I made this soup six times already, it's the best!
Hey Sadia! I tried this one today. I cut the recipe to even less than a half but it still turned out really nice. Loved it. Thank you!
I keep recommending this soup. Easy, super delicious and pleasantly filling. I even made it for christmas for my family, everyone enjoyed it! I love to make croutons or simple white flatbread to go with it.
May I ask what kind of peppers in oil you use? Are these paprika's, of chili peppers? I live in the Netherlands and I can't find them. Sun dried tomates are easy to buy, but I don't think it gives the same result?
I don't even know how many times I've made this. Love it! In winter, I'll sometimes use spaghetti squash or acorn squash instead of the zucchini, and it's still lovely.
I've done this one before and it is yummo but I'm trying to find the recipe that you had on YouTube it's a go to for Robin it had 2 hands full of green beans that you chop in half is about all I can remember
I have fibromyalgia & IC and need to go vegan for my health. I hate cooking but have decided to go slowly over the next year and build up a list of easy-to-make recipes from this site because many of them do look simple with ingredients I have access to. I tried this soup first. It was so simple for a non-cook and extraordinarily delicious. Took me literally 1/2 hour to make. I only had 2 red peppers so I added a carrot instead and it was still great. I love it. I'll definately make this again.
Hi! The soup sounds great! I donβt have a bouillon cube, can I substitute this or just leave it out this time? π Thanks!
Super delicious soup! I make it once a month and my family thinks it's amazing.
This soup is one of my favourites on your site! It is so unique and deliciously different to any soup I have tried before. I love making a batch and enjoying it for lunches in the winter.
Plaisante Γ prΓ©parer et un goΓ»t rare pour une soupe π. Beaucoup aimΓ© π₯°
Loved this soup! Everyone always asks me for the recipe when I cook this for them. One modification I made the last couple times is to roast the bell peppers before cooking and it brought out a warm, smoky texture to the soup. 10/10 recipe, thank you!
So good!!! Iβm usually not a really big fan of soups but this one was amazing and so easy to make. Groetjes uit Lisse ;)
This soup was delicious and easy to make. My whole family loved it, including my kids. Will definitely be making again. Thank you!
I tried this by replacing sun dried paprika with two red Thai chillies. My soup had a lighter color but the flavor was so good. If you like good spice in the soup and do not have sun dried paprika, go for it! I teamed it up with steamed dumplings for dinner.
My Grandma gave me a huge zucchini so I made this recipe with her and it was soooooo delicious. Everyone loved it ππ!
π₯Iβve made this two nights in a row
This soup is super flavourful and definetly on the lighter side. Delicious!
We grew pattypan squash in our garden this summer and made this soup with it. I want to bathe in the soup! So delicious. Thanks!
The soup is great, hearty and filling but not too heavy. And it freezes great! <3
Loved this soup. Suddenly realised I made it with sun dried tomatoes so that works too π₯΄ππ». Thankful that you also write litres and gram in your recipes. That makes it so much easier for me, since that is what I am used to in Norway.
My mother in law brought us a huuuge Zucchini from her garden last week, so I decided to give this recipe a go. It's super simple, quick and very delicious. Greetings from Germany, Julia π€
Hello, which would be a better substitute for sun dried paprika in this recipe, roasted red peppers in oil or sundried tomatoes?
Love your recipes!
This is one of my favourite soup recipes ever! I literally make it on repeat in the winter time.
This is a go to recipe! My husband loves it and we have made it at least once a month or more since the video was released. We never could find sun dried bell pepper in our country, but sun dried tomatoes make a delicious substitute. Itβs incredible with some homemade baguette for dipping βΊοΈ
Easy, speedy, delicious... You promised something like "a hug in a bowl" and this did not disappoint! And my mom, a BIG fan of soups, absolutely loved it. Well done!
Loved the soup - it was so easy and delicious. This reminded me of the red pepper pesto pasta which has become one of my favorite pasta recipes.
Very delicious, easy to cook and gets even better the following days!
Can I substitute red bell peppers with green bell peppers? I only have green bell peppers on hand, but I read that red bell peppers give a sweeter flavor than green. I also don't want to make a trip to the store just for red bell peppers.
One of my favourite recipes! It's fast, freezes well and tastes so delicious. A staple in our house :)
