The ingredient list for this recipe isn’t lengthy, but to draw out the great flavors from the peppers and onions there is some lengthy simmer time.
It’s broth-y, tomato-y, savory and begging to be matched with a toasted thick piece of bread.
Could be served over spaghetti squash or noodles, alongside a spinach salad or steamed broccoli.
