"From the Moosewood Restaurant! I took home an entire tray of roasted red peppers from a reception we had at work. This was the perfect recipe to use up a good portion of them. Feel free to adjust the heat to suit your tastes. The original recipe is listed below, however, I actually used LESS crushed red pepper (which is totally NOT like me) and it was perfect! This was so quick, easy and delicious!"

Really good soup with sort of a tangy flavor. I made it with the chilli powder and it was perfect for me. DH added the red pepper flakes to his bowl for a little extra kick. Rather than adding the ingredients to sauted onions, I just pureed them straight out of the cans/jars, leaving some liquid in the blender to help puree the onions in the last batch. I think without the added water this might just make a tasty sauce. But great as a soup that I'll be making again.

Lovely soup, really thick and flavourful. I added 2 jalapeños as we like spicy. Roasted them with my red peppers but did not use the seeds. I substituted the water with vegetable broth as I felt water would dilute the flavor, also reduced it by 1 cup. If you prefer a really thinner soup then add the other cup of broth.I think I may add a bit more garlic next time. I completely agree with adding a bit of heavy cream or sour cream but our family is avoiding heavy fats right now!

I made this soup exactly as directed, and then tasted it. The soup didn't have enough coconut flavor and wasn't cream enough for my liking. I was expecting something more like a bisque. In the future, I think it would be better to make this soup with coconut cream rather than coconut milk. In order to make this soup more bisque-like, I ended up adding some dairy cream and some cream cheese; that made it creamy enough, but the side effect was that the coconut flavor was subdued.
