ROASTED RED PEPPER, TOMATO & SMOKED GOUDA BISQUE (160 cals)

I have LOTS to say about the particular recipe I’m sharing with you today!

First off, it’s really not a season-appropriate recipe. But I’ll have to make that up to you.

Second…WOW, it was good.

Third - roasted red peppers are my life. Don’t tell anyone.
