This week, I almost fainted with joy when I found beautiful red bell peppers
on sale for $1 a pound. Then I almost cried because I'm too busy this week
to make roasted red pepper soup. So I bought a few, and we have been
munching on them for snacks, and used one last night for fajitas.

As for the soup, I would add them about 45 minutes before the end of
cooking. For some reason, my veggies never seem to get *done* in soup.
