This comforting Creamy Sweet Pepper Soup is made in one pot using a savory mix of sweet peppers, chicken broth, and white rice. It’s an easy healthy meal that always comes in handy when you end up with too many peppers.
Pour olive oil in pot over medium-high heat. Add sweet and jalapeño peppers and sauté for 10 minutes until they soften up, continue stirring during this time.
Add garlic and thyme, stirring for 4 more minutes while the garlic browns.
Pour chicken broth and red pepper flakes in. Stir to combine and continue heating for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to blend until creamy and smooth. You can also use a regular blender, but do this in batches, being careful as it's very hot.
Add cooked rice and stir to combine. Serve and enjoy with toasted croutons on top (optional but delicious)!
Notes
Tip: You can use a mixture of sweet and bell peppers in this soup.
