RED BELL PEPPER AND SWEET POTATO SOUP

Red Bell Pepper and Sweet Potato Soup image

I came up with this soup last night as a way to use the massive quantity of bell peppers I bought on sale this week. The sweet potato I used was of the pale variety, but I'm sure it would taste delicious with an orange sweet potato.
