Hot, delicious and way easier than it looks. Roasting the pepper and root veggies adds flavor while the beans are a sensible add-in for your smart eating plan.

We liked this soup with a few changes, using what was on hand. Quadrupled recipe, added 1/2 butternut squash, cut back a bit on peppers and sweet potatoes, did not use dressing but sprinkled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, s&p plus Italian herbs then added mini dried cheese ravioli for the last 20 mins of heating through. I will add garlic next time. Very forgiving recipe that you can adjust to your liking. Enjoyed and have leftovers for another smaller meal which was my intent by making a big pot of soup!

Great flavor! Added roasted chicken to make it go further. Did not use cheese or basil, instead added chopped green onion as garnish...great touch.

This recipe took longer to prepare than expected but I must say it was well worth the work and wait. I will make this over and over again. Even my picky husband loved this recipe.

It was a hit, and gone before you knew it! This recipe doesn't make a lot. I would double it for two people. Next time I will add more Sweet Potato and puree it all for a really great texture!

Loaded with vegetables, this flavorful low-fat, low-calorie soup is a good source of fiber from the combination of beans and vegetables. And as a bonus, it's rich in vitamin A from the combination of carrots and sweet potato, and a good source of calcium from the cheese.
