You know how fantastic this soup is?
I have bronchitis. And a sinus infection. I'm running a fever. I had to go out to buy peanut butter.
And I still made this soup.
Not much wisdom to impart for this week's Craving Ellie in My Belly except this: When pureeing hot soup in the blender, just like the recipe says only fill it 1/3 of the way, and hold down the top with a dish towel before you blend. Unless you need to clean your kitchen cabinets. With the way I'm feeling, that wasn't at the top of my to do list. Now it is.
Pamela at Cookies With Boys mentioned it was very spicy with the 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne the recipe called for, and I thought about going easy on it. But we love it spicy and I figured it would help me breathe easier. It did. Plus it's loaded with sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, carrots and more, good nutrients to help me get better.
Thanks go to Mary at Popsicles and Sandy Feet for picking this one for us. I love Mary and her blog. She has a great sense of humor.
You'll find the recipe here. Make it soon. You won't regret it.

Oh, that soup looks even more wonderful in that beautiful bowl against the lovely linen. We absolutely loved it. Thanks for cooking it with me today. It was even more fun knowing you were over there in your kitchen doing the same things. Definitely will make this again soon.
Oh Leslie, I hope you are feeling better soon. It seems as though everyone is coming down with something.
But spicy soup was definitely the way to go - even if you did have to clean the cabinets afterward!
I hope you feel better soon - that sounds awful :(
I'm glad you enjoyed the soup and hopefully it was worth the mess on the cabinets.
Feel better, Leslie! You are a trooper for making the soup! I do not like peanuts so I skipped this one, but I am so glad that you enjoyed it!
Hope you are feeling better now. The soup was delicious. Good luck with the cabinents!
Being sick is such a bummer. Hope you feel better soon.
I love the soup bowl.
This was one really good recipe.
Man, I am sorry that you are sooo sick, Leslie, but if anything could help you get better, it's this soup. Unless you have a setback due to cleaning cabinets (or running to grocery stores!) I laughed so hard at your blender paragraph - I can't be that funny when I don't have a fever! I now use an immersion blender for all blended soups and it's fantastic.
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well; I hope the soup helped. I can't way to try this one. I bought sweet potatoes for a different recipe, but I think I might make this soup instead.
Bummer on your cold/flu. I cannot believe you achieved this as a sick lady. Your bowl makes that soup even prettier that it was. and it was pretty good.
Hope you feel better soon.
Hope you're feeling better!
Great soup! Great bowl too!
Aw, shucks, thanks for the compliments. :) I hope you feel better asap and I am so glad you liked the soup. I thought it was cool and different too.
Hope you are feeling better.
The soup is a winner. No doubt about it.
I'm so late in getting around to blogs and commenting. I certainly hope you are feeling better now and I'm happy to see that you enjoyed the soup! Take care, my friend.
