    What a treat this Roasted Red Pepper soup is! Hot sauce gives it extra zing!

    I was able to get fresh Ontario Shepherd peppers at the Farmer's Market. So it was the perfect time to make Roasted Red Pepper soup. I love this time of year for all the fresh fruits and vegetables!

    For this recipe you will roast the garlic cloves along with the peppers. Hot sauce adds some kick. You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit you. We are not 'heat' fanatics so 1 teaspoon was enough for us to have a bit of zing but not overpowering. If you like 'heat' you will probably want to use 2 tsps.

    A bit of sour cream also makes this soup a touch creamy. A nice touch indeed!

    I served the soup with Parker House Rolls on the side. I am a huge fan of homemade dinner rolls and I finally got around to the Parker House version. They are baked with a pat of butter in the middle of the dough.... yummy......
