Keto Paleo Almond Pepper Soup
You will be pleasantly surprised at the wonderful flavors in this soup (Badam mirchi ka shorba) despite the simple ingredients. Red peppers and almonds are simmered over low heat with spicy green pepper sand cardamom and then blended to creamy perfection.
Can I use other colored bell peppers?
It would be best to stick to red bell peppers for this recipe as they have an inherent sweetness to them that adds to the flavor complexity of this soup.
Can I use other nuts?
Yes, feel free to experiment with different nuts in this soup. Simply replace them with a 1:1 ratio.
Can I leave the cardamom out?
Yes, if you don’t want an Indian-style soup, take the cardamom out for a delicious and creamy red pepper soup.

Added boullion the second day and that made all the difference. Will make again.

Can I substitute almonds with almond butter (no salt, no sugar added)?

Absolutely delicious! I subbed chicken broth for the water. I didn’t have any cardamom on hand, so I subbed 1/2 tsp Garam Masala and 1/2 tsp turmeric, and added lots of black pepper. Also used an immersion blender and blended in the pot. If you don’t like a lot of spice, make sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeño. I left them in. Will make again! :)
