Don't you just love a bowl of warm, creamy soup? This recipe brings ever-so-light heat from the bell peppers, sweetened by the creaminess of the corn and non-dairy milk. The vegetable broth lends a soft undertone of flavor that does not take focus from the main ingredients. Finally, the saffron imparts its signature color and flavor to this dish, making it truly worth splurging in for special occasions.

How to Prepare Saffron, Corn, and Bell Pepper Soup [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking tray with foil.
- Slice the yellow bell pepper in half. Spray or brush the oil over each half. Place on the baking tray cut side down.
- Bake at 450°F for 25 minutes, until the skin turns slightly charred and wrinkly.

- Meanwhile, cook the corn in vegetable stock and milk. Add the base of the spring onion (white part) as a whole to the boiling broth. Reserve the green part for garnishing later.
