extra peppers, corn or onion until you've reached a good consistency for soup.
This is a light and tasty soup.
Its healthy and low calorie, full of good ingredients.

What to do:

This is the kind of recipe I love.  Full of ingredients that are healthy and good for you.
It has a great flavor that keeps you coming back for more.
 Another plus; this is a low fat recipe that is healthy!!!
I serve it with a hunk of bread and have a green salad as well.  This is a meal you'll love.
