SO Good!! I also sauteed jalapeno w/ the onion ( I like heat) and I like a thinner soup so I used more broth. It turned out yummy!!

Delicious!! My husband hates the texture of the veggies (onion, peppers and celery) so I threw them in the blender with the broth and added a bag of frozen brocolli that needed to used. Hubby isn't on a low carb diet and he loved it and wants me to make again.

Yes, it is perfect for Atkins--just a little adjusting and it would be great for the 400 calorie fix also. Like the heavy cream could be cut to 1/2 to 1 cup and the rest in skim milk.
Or 1 cup cream and other cup in the broth. Cut the butter in 1/2. add the other peppers and I still have the taste of a decadent soup--Atkins or otherwise. Thanks

Wow, this looks good! I'm thinking of adding a few splashes of hot sauce (or some jalapenos like Atriel suggested). I think I would substitute cubanelle (sweet Italian peppers) for the green bell pepper as those tend to be a little bitter when cooked. Nice recipe for the upcoming cold months. Thanks! :)

This is gourmet, no joke! I made it tonight and it's sooooo good, you can add brocoli florets to it and make it brocoli cheddar soup, yummm. I'm thinking about making this soup for a family dinner we have coming up, it's that good.
