Tomato and Capsicum Soup

Winter is drawing nearer, and with this I begin my weekend soup cook ups. A quick and easy meal for us is tomato soup (from a tin) and toast, so when I came across this simple recipe for tomato and capsicum soup I just had to try it. We served it with Tortilla Pizzas, and it went down a treat - Glenn even told me it's better than the tinned soup!!! The heat of the soup can be altered by how much chilli you put in, and if you don't want any heat at all then leave it out.
