Chilled Red Pepper and Goats’ Cheese Soup
Perfect vegetarian soup for hot summer days and a great substitute for Gazpacho if you are not a big fan of tomatoes. It is great served as a starter or in shot glasses as an hors d’oeuvre for a dinner party. Without cheese, it could easily be served as a vegan dish.
