Roasting the red bell pepper under the broiler intensifies its sweetness and adds a smoky depth to the soup.
For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the parsley.
Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne and red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. A touch of smoked paprika can also add a wonderful layer of flavor.
For a vegan option, ensure your vegetable broth is plant-based.
