I like convenience, so I used jarred peppers. If you have time to roast the peppers, it would be even better. I also use leftover rotisserie chicken. When we buy a rotisserie chicken from the deli, my family never wants the meat on the bottom so I shred it and use it in soup later.

Cream of Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Soup in a bowl.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We loved the richness of this cream of roasted red pepper chicken soup. It's thick and creamy with fresh flavor. Roasted red peppers add a touch of smokiness to this homemade soup, but it's not overpowering. Shredded chicken makes the soup hearty and a great meal.
