Roasted Red Pepper Soup and Homemade French Bread

Jarred roasted red peppers perform just as well as fresh would in this soup, as long as you buy the right brand.

Lucky for us, a team of tasters have already determined the best brand(s) to buy and the results are linked below. And good news, the most inexpensive brand came in first!

Paired along with the soup is some wonderful homemade french bread. I’ll tell you what, absolutely no one is going to turn this meal down! And btw, this soup is great both on it’s own or as a base to add ingredients to. Try adding in pasta, rice or chicken if you like.

The book focuses on how early pioneers were able to plant and harvest, both during the main growing season as well as early/ late season so as to nearly always have fresh food to eat. I’ll tell you, speaking personally, if there’s one draw back to cooking with food storage you learn early on it’s the measure to which you find yourself missing fresh vegetables along side a meal! I’m really excited about the ideas contained in this book as well as the author’s plans for subsequent books to be coming out in the next year or so. Here’s a bit of what you’ll find… Continue reading →
