Can I use fresh corn instead of frozen roasted corn?

While frozen roasted corn adds a distinct smoky flavor, you can use fresh corn. For a similar depth, consider roasting it lightly before adding it to the soup.

What kind of sweet peppers should I use?

The recipe calls for mixed sweet peppers, so feel free to use a combination of red, yellow, or orange bell peppers for a vibrant color and balanced sweetness.

Is it necessary to puree part of the soup?

Pureeing 2-3 cups of the soup in a blender, as specified, creates a creamy base while leaving some chunky vegetables for texture, enhancing the overall experience.

How can I make this soup spicier?

To increase the heat, you can add more crushed red pepper flakes than the 1/4 tsp listed, or incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper with the smoked paprika.

How should I store leftover Smoky Roasted Corn and Sweet Pepper Soup?

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This soup also freezes well for up to 1 month.
