(Thank you, Cameron Hughes, for sponsoring this post. Capture the celebratory spirit of the holidays, and toast to the season with Cameron Hughes wine!)

These sweet red peppers are officially my new favorite fall flavor. Do you know what is even better? Pairing this sweet pepper soup with a new cabernet I love by Cameron Hughes.

If you are one of the lucky ones, you will score a pint of sweet red shishito peppers! These red shishito peppers are a sweet mild red pepper, except for that one in ten! I had no idea shishito peppers even came in a red color!!

They are vibrant and beautiful, and I hope to see a lot more of them in the coming weeks at our farmer's market! If you make soup as much as we do, check out all of my delicious gluten free soup recipes on the blog. You are guaranteed to find your next favorite soup!

Cameron Hughes wines are a little different than most wines. Cameron Hughes travels the world, buying wines that vintners are not able to bottle. They bottle this wine by lot numbers and it is not uncommon to get high quality of wine for a fraction of its worth!

Are you ready to see how easy it is to make this simple sweet red pepper soup?

Recipe step by step directions:

Red shishito peppers and onion cooking in a cast iron skillet

Step 1: Blister the shishito peppers with onion and garlic. I love to do this in my cast iron skillet because it can get really hot. Use a cooking oil that can take high heat like avocado oil!

Olive oil will get rancid when cooked at high temperatures so don't use olive oil for this recipe!

Step 2: Remove the stems from the red peppers. Leave the seeds in the peppers, no need to remove these as they are sweet.

Adding all ingredients and the red pepper to the Vitamix blender

Step 3: Add all of the ingredients to your Vitamix or blender. This will make the soup smooth and creamy for cooking! I love making soups in the Vitamix, but you can use a food processor, or even put everything into the pot and use an immersion blender in the pot to puree!

Step 3: Next, cover and bring the soup to a boil. Allow to boil for five minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer an additional 10 minutes.

Tips and Recipe FAQ:

Can you use green shishito peppers?

You can easily use green shishito peppers in this recipe, or if you prefer the vibrant red color of this soup, use red bell peppers.

Can you make this shishito pepper soup dairy-free?

Yes, you can make this dairy-free. Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. This will also make this soup vegan!

How long will this soup keep fresh?

This soup should keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

    I could only find green shishitos. Can I make the soup with these - or maybe add some sweet red bell peppers?
    I love them (the green ones) raw. They are refreshing, crispy-crunchy and so tasty. I like to chop them up and use i my stir-fry's or a fresh salad.

      You can definitely use green ones :-). Their flavor is almost identical to the red ones. Enjoy
