Was looking for a quick vegetable soup for a cold winter night. This was super easy and honestly I was VERY surprised at how good it was. Very flavorful for such a quick and easy soup. I would highly recommend adding the red pepper flakes as it added just the right amount of warmth to the soup. We omitted the bell pepper due to food intolerance and just doubled up on the carrot. Hugh thumbs up!
