February 20, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

This recipe falls under my Healthy Food That Doesn’t Suck category. Thanks to the roasted red peppers and goat cheese, there is a nice wallop of flavour added to what might have ended up being a boring bean dip.

This morning it is -9C. Suffice it to say, soup-making season appears to be far from over where I am. The only consolation is a hardy soup like this one. It melds the strong flavour of red peppers with the sweetness of sundried tomatoes. I had such good luck with adding sundried tomatoes to my […]
