  4. Add the diced cheese.
  5. Add salt and pepper.
  6. Add olive oil.

This salad is highly recommended; the combination of flavors is great and is also very nutritious. You can make other variations and add chicken pieces, instead of cheese and / or add small pieces of toast (note that this would increase the number of calories).

  • 1 tbsp. of sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup of goat cheese

Preparation

  1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat and add onions, carrots, garlic and thyme leaves. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken broth, bell peppers, potatoes, wine and sugar. When it comes to a boil, lower heat and simmer partially covered until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Allow the broth to cool slightly.
  3. Using a hand blender (or common one), blend the soup in the same pan until you get a creamy consistency. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

    Oh man, I am thinking I am going to HAVE to make that red pepper soup – it sounds amazing! just reading the ingredients made my mouth water. The salad sounds really good too, although I must say I’m not really a fan of vegetable juices, so I probably won’t try the last recipe. Thanks for the great ideas though!
