Bell pepper soup

Which colour bell pepper to choose?
Bell peppers are nutritious, rich in fibre, and low in calories. But what’s the difference between the colours? A red pepper contains more vitamin C than a green pepper, and tastes sweeter. Green peppers have a more bitter taste. An orange pepper is somewhere in between. Pick your own favourite colours for this recipe, but a little tip: too many green peppers may create a bit of a murky mess, so choose your peppers carefully!
