Paprika & Red Pepper Soup with Pistachio Puree

This is sooo good and a little different, with the cardamom, a little hot pepper and paprika. In September my garden red peppers are abundant — perfect recipe to use these up! Yummy!

Great for fall! This soup was great! I followed the recipe almost exactly, with two exceptions. The store didn't have sweet Hungarian paprika, only hot, which I actually think enhanced the recipe. And cardamom is freakin' expensive, so I substituted 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 1/2 tsp cinnamon (I doubled the recipe fyi). The only thing I didn't like was the garnish of cilantro. I'll be leaving that out next time. Pros: Easy, cheap, freezes well

Yes but where's the puree??? I loved this soup but you gotta change the title. Unless I completely missed something nowhere here is there any description of how to make that pistachio puree. The pistachios pureed into the soup give it a fantastic flavour so it really didn't need anything other than than hit of fresh herbs to finish it and the title makes it seem much more complicated than it really is. This is a simple, quick and delicious recipe, period!

Easy to Make, and So Satisfying!Rich and creamy and sweet, with lots of pepper flavor. I made this soup when I had a cold. My husband was afraid that the hot chiles would irritate my throat, but they only opened up my sinuses. What a treat, even when well!Pros: Delicious and ComfortingCons: Added clean-up chore of washing blender

This soup is fantastic! My husband made it for company last night and it was totally guest-worthy. We almost left out the cardamom because it's so pricey, but I'm glad we didn't--it adds a lovely flavor. We also couldn't find unsalted, pre-shelled pistachios, so I shelled them by hand and it was totally worth it. I'm going to crave this soup!
