Roasted Red Pepper White Bean Soup
The husband is our house saucier, which is great for me, because sometimes I'm kind of a mess. Usually if I'm wearing white, I will be a disaster. But this soup just happened for me, sans spills, and the results? Pretty great.
Serving soup at a holiday party can be easy and in this case, appear rather festive. This is a sweet, yet savory soup that gets a creamy texture ( and high protein!) from the blended white beans. No cream needed. I served it in small shooter style bowls so no spoon was needed.
