Soup for the Fourth of July

No grilling out for us today. We decided to do things a little differently, and made a batch of Roasted Yellow Pepper and Corn Bisque from Veganomicon instead.

Now, here is soup done right. The sweetness of the bell peppers, corn, coconut milk, and maple syrup is a wonderful contrast against the hot peppers and limes. The maple syrup and lime combo worried me a little, but I knew from past experience that Isa and Terry (the Veganomicon authors) would never leave a vegan cook astray. How right I was.

I've been going through phases with cookbooks lately -- maybe you noticed my recent infatuation with The Vegan Table? Anyway, this week will be very Veganomicon-centric. Just to let you know.
