Roasted Pepper Potato Soup




I really enjoy potato soup, and this rich creamy version is different than most I've tried. I like its lemon and cilantro flavors, but you can adjust the ingredients to best suit your family's taste buds.

Roasted Pepper Potato Soup

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) roasted sweet red peppers, undrained and chopped
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 3 cups diced peeled potatoes
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed

Directions:
  1. In a large saucepan, saute onions in oil until tender. Stir in the roasted peppers, chilies, cumin, salt and coriander. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes and broth; bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir in cilantro and lemon juice. Cool slightly. In a blender, process the cream cheese and half of the soup until smooth. Return all to pan and heat through.

Love this recipe and it was so easy to make. These are delicious! I used only 1-1/2 cups of chips because that’s all I had, but they were still delicious! These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars were everything I hoped they would be. Chewy, chocolate-y oat goodness in every single bite! I used half semi-sweet chocolate chips and half milk chocolate–craaazzy I know– and they were SOO good. If you don’t already have a fancy treat planned for your special someone this weekend (like raspberry bread pudding or Oreo Cheesecake Bites), these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars will surely be a huge hit!

Cherry Pie Cookie Cups

I love this recipe for the cookie cups! I made them this weekend and they turned out awesome!!! These cookie cups fantastic! The cookie dough and cherry pie filing sound wonderful together and perfect for Valentine’s Day.  These are so cute, and so amazingly delicious! I love fun holiday desserts. I have a family of 5 and I have to tell you this is brilliant. Everyone got individual little pies and there was no fighting 😀 I made 10 and no more ! fast simple and extremely tasty!!! LOVED this so much. I used cherry pink foil cupcake liners and used a full-sized cupcake pan. Since the amount of dough was bigger, I had to bake them longer and really keep an eye on it, but it worked out so well. Instead of using a powdered sugar drizzle, I melted white chocolate and drizzled that across. They look beautiful. I of course had to taste one. They are wonderful. This is such a brilliant idea! Seriousy fun! And perfect for Valentine’s  Get the full recipe and instructions here >> Cherry Pi
