Roasted Pepper, Carrot & Chilli Soup

Now normally when I'm making a soup or a curry or anything to do with adding peppers, I just chop them up and bung them in after I've added the onions, but I'd just watched a video of an Italian granny (- I love Pasta Grannies) 😁 - toasting them on her gas stove top and I thought " hmmm, I bet they taste amazing!" So I did my version ...I don't have a gas stove so I did them in my Halogen oven and although they didn't come out black , they are still the sweetest peppers I've tasted so I'll definitely be doing them again. Its worth that little extra time. This is a very simple recipe with just a few ingredients but a lot of taste. You can tailor it to suit you and your families tastes by adjusting the recipe slightly...not baking the peppers, adding less chilli, substituting the cream cheese for double cream or creme fraiche...the choice is yours. Why not give this a try and let us know how you got on in the comments below. We love to hear your feedback x
