You may tell from the number of soup recipes on this website, that I really enjoy the idea of nutritious liquid in a bowl (or cup in this case). The toasted and buttered piece of ciabatta may also play a role in my soup-loving ways, for what is a soup without something to dunk in the soup?
This Butternut and Red Pepper soup is the perfect vegan appetiser as I have not used any cream or milk in the recipe. And those who don’t love the idea of coconut milk, it doesn’t have that either! It is just a pure cup of good nutrition! The recipe will serve 8 people in 8 dinky little enamel cups.
Garnish with Rocket or Basil and serve with toasted Ciabatta, smothered with vegan butter. Yum!
