That's what is nice about it--so many possibilities. <BR/><BR/>As far as time goes, I <I>don't</I> find enough to do everything anymore. Not since I discovered blogging. . . : )<BR/><BR/>Hi Alanna,<BR/>Thanks so much for sharing my soup recipe. Wow, you aren't kidding when you say, "Every single day, a vegetable in a new way" over at <A HREF="http://kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow"><B>A Veggie Venture.</B></A> What a delicious site! <BR/><BR/>Hi Cherrybegonia,<BR/>You never know--this soup just might turn you into a squash lover.<BR/><BR/>Hi Clare,<BR/>Sounds very, very good! Hmmm. . .now why didn't I think of that? Oh wait, I did! : )<BR/><BR/>Hi Eatzycath,<BR/>Always nice to hear from you. I made this soup again yesterday and used half a 16 ounce jar of roasted red peppers in place of some of the fresh ones. I didn't taste a huge flavor difference, but I had also been eating the last batch with homemade pesto stirred in (talk about yum). And I didn't try any of the peppers straight from the jar--they might not have had a very strong roasted flavor.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure the best thing would be to roast fresh peppers, though that would definitely add some extra time to the preparation. It would probably be worth it, though. If anyone tries this, I'd love to hear about it.<BR/><BR/>Hi Emily,<BR/>Well, that's great news for the vegetarians who were wondering how this soup would be without the chicken stock. I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to write and let me know. : )<BR/><BR/>Hi Lane,<BR/>Welcome to the farm! I'm so glad you found us, too. As you probably read above, Emily made the soup with vegetable broth and pronounced it a winner. As far as freezing it, I froze some of the batch I made yesterday in a plastic 3-cup (24-ounce) freezer container (one way to keep me from eating it all!). I haven't frozen it before, but I assume it will be fine. Most soups seem to freeze well.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for taking the time to say hello. I look forward to hearing from you again.Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1126879561559122212005-09-16T09:06:00.000-05:002005-09-16T09:06:00.000-05:00Hello Susan,I am so glad I found your blog!

The wa...Hi Leigh,<BR/>I absolutely love big red peppers. The way they feel in your hands! Almost like they aren't food but some kind of little sculptures or art or something, all smooth and glossy and sturdy.<BR/><BR/>I was actually thinking about you when I made this soup and wrote the post. I considered mentioning that vegetable broth would work in place of the chicken broth, but I was hesitant to since I haven't actually tried it. I bet if you had a nice, flavorful stock it would be just fine.<BR/><BR/>Also, something else I thought of was that it might be nice with roasted red peppers. You could either roast the fresh ones over a gas flame on the stovetop or in the oven--or possibly even toss in a jar of roasted peppers instead. A combination of roasted and unroasted might be good. I think that if there was any lack of flavor without the chicken stock, the roasted peppers would definitely give the soup some kick.<BR/><BR/>Let me know if you try making it and how it comes out. <BR/><BR/>Hi Beth,<BR/>Welcome to the farm! Thank you and you're welcome. I appreciate your taking the time to write and look forward to hearing from you again. : )<BR/><BR/>Hi Clare,<BR/>Why thank you. Considering how simple the recipe is, it does have a lot of flavor. And I just love the color. It's definitely summer in a bowl!<BR/><BR/>Hi Amy,<BR/>There's nothing like homemade soup, is there? Can't wait for your recipe. Let me know if you try this one and how you like it.<BR/><BR/>Hi Angelika,<BR/>A red pepper lover with a freezer full of homemade stock--I knew you had fabulous taste! : ) Looking forward to reading your pepper posts on <A HREF="http://theflyingapple.typepad.com" REL="nofollow"><B>The Flying Apple.</B></A>Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1126473793913473162005-09-11T16:23:00.000-05:002005-09-11T16:23:00.000-05:00I bought a bag of red peppers yesterday but we ate...I bought a bag of red peppers yesterday but we ate most of them last night in our stir fry.
