About

All my life I have had a fondness for dishes made with sweet green peppers. I considered it a blessing when, a few short years ago, peppers of various colors came on the market. One of my favorite soups, given to me by a friend in Dallas, is made with sweet yellow pepper (the red version may be substituted) combined with serrano chilies.
