Red Pepper Soup is a recipe known for its intense flavor and vibrant color. Its origin dates back to Mediterranean cuisine, where the use of red pepper has been fundamental in multiple preparations. In Latin America, this soup is appreciated in several countries and goes by different names; for example, in Mexico it is simply known as "sopa de chile morrón", while in Argentina and Chile it can be found under the name "crema de pimiento". This dish has traveled through Spanish influence and has been adapted in each region with local ingredients, making each version a unique experience. Furthermore, its versatility allows it to be served both as a light starter and as a main course, making it ideal for cold climates or times when a comforting and nutritious meal is sought.
