I published this recipe for Roasted Red Pepper Soup Mediterranean Recipes a few years ago after a trip that changed my kitchen forever. My husband and I were in a tiny coastal village, and a downpour sent us running into a family-run taverna. The owner brought out a simple, steaming bowl of soup. It was the color of a summer sunset and tasted like pure, smoky sunshine. If you love the idea of a smoky, creamy potato soup, you must try my Roasted Red Pepper & Cajun Potato Soup.
