Discussion & Rating
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 don’t have a bouillon cube, can I substitute this or just leave it out this time? 😊 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 à préparer et un goût rare pour une soupe 🍜. Beaucoup aimé 🥰
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!!! I’m 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 😄😋!
🔥I’ve 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 🥴👍🏻. 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 🤗
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. It’s incredible with some homemade baguette for dipping ☺️
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 :)
