Recipe Note
Here are a few delicious suggestions to serve alongside Spicy Rye's Original Hot Pepper & Roasted Tomato Soup:
Classic Cheese Toasties: Melty, golden cheese toasties are the perfect pairing with this soup. Try using a sharp cheddar or a mix of cheeses like mozzarella and gruyère for extra flavour.
Garlic Bread: Crispy, buttery garlic bread is ideal for dipping into the spicy soup, adding a rich, savoury complement to the heat.
Herb and Cheese Scones: Soft, warm scones flavoured with fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme, plus a touch of cheddar or parmesan, make a lovely side dish.
Grilled Cheese with Red Onion Chutney: For an extra punch of flavour, serve grilled cheese with a layer of red onion chutney or caramelised onions. The sweetness will balance out the spice in the soup.
Crusty Bread with Olive Tapenade: A side of crusty bread slathered with a rich olive tapenade brings a salty, Mediterranean twist to the meal.
Cheese and Herb Focaccia: Light, airy focaccia with a sprinkling of fresh herbs and cheese is great for soaking up the rich, spicy broth.
Key Nutritional Points:
Low in fat, especially if the cream drizzle is reduced or omitted.
High in vitamin C from the tomatoes, peppers, and scotch bonnet, making it a great immune-boosting dish.
Good fiber content from the vegetables, contributing to digestive health.
If the cream is skipped, the soup is vegan and lower in saturated fats.
