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:

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.

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.
