Pepper Soup
This is my version of a soup we enjoyed at a restaurant. With green, red and yellow peppers, it's so colorful. I like to serve this slightly spicy soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. - Debbie Fails, Neenah, Wisconsin8 ServingsPrep: 5 min. Cook: 30 min.

Pepper Soup already has some zip form the cayenne pepper. But if you like foods even hotter, stir in some chopped jalapeno peppers.
