Low Glycemic No Added Sugar Curried Red Pepper Soup

Peppers of all kinds can be really delicious when in season and can make the most delicious soups. Here's a recipe that is tried and true. I love this soup and if you are not a big fan of curry you can add an alternative spice.

For Soup:
 1.50 red, yellow, or orange sweet peppers (about 5-6)
 0.50 cup red onion, chopped
 1 cup water
 2 tsp chicken bouillon granules
 1.50 tsp curry powder (or to taste)

 1 tbsp sour cream

Simmer for 15 minutes.
