About

After a great day of fun activities with my son, dinner came too fast once again.  Refrigerator door open pondering how I was going to use the left overs from the night before. Soup was the only meal that sounded good. All the ingredients lined up on my prep table, cutting board ready as well as my large Le Creuset pot on the stove.
I really enjoy preparing soups with roasted vegetables, but never before I used roasted bell peppers and corn together, therefore I was a bit nervous of the end result.  The voices in my house spoke: “We Love It”.  
I have to admit I really enjoy creating in the kitchen.  The soup last night was, I have to say, quite delicious. As you can see it was quite easy to prepare, and any vegetables will do. Just let your imagination take over and have fun with it.
I liked to sprinkle some lime juice over it, it intensified the flavor of the corn and the bell peppers. Maybe add some jalapeno to give it s Southwest kick.
Bon Appetit!!
