My hubby is on holidays right now and was looking for a healthy new soup to try. He found this recipe in our P90X Cookbook. This is only the second recipe we have ever made from the book, but the Island Pork Tenderloin is one of our favourites and this soup proved to be very tastey as well. I think we need to take a serious look at this book because both of the recipes we’ve tried have been both delicious and healthy.
P90X Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Although this recipe came from our P90X recipe book, I found this link for it on food.com. My husband had the soup ready when I got home from work today. He sure knows how to make my day – love that!!
