Red Pepper & Chipotle "Cream" Soup

Red Pepper Chipotle “Cream” Soup

One of the 10 finalists for the Community Recipe Challenge, this soup is light and full of flavor. Red peppers give it a slightly sweet flavor and cashews give it the right amount of creaminess. It’s a super easy Phase 3 addition to your recipe lineup. Thanks to Cecilia for this delicious soup!
