Broccoli and orange peppers go surprisingly well together. They are a double whammy of vitamin C.
I made this delicious soup and surprised myself. Just throwing things into a frying pan and then into my Vitamix I was able to enjoy a delicious dinner in no time.
Some crusty bread would be a good accompaniment.
