SPICY SOUPS: HOW TO USE DIFFERENT CHILLIES IN SOUPS..

It’s officially wintertime now and that means it’s soup weather. But we’re not interested in the usual suspects. We’re thinking about spicy soups that’ll really warm you up. Zest & Zing has a variety of chilli peppers to help you spice up your soups - even if you’re not big on the heat and only want to add a pinch! From smoky to fruity to spicy, throwing in a little heat (or a lot) is a simple way to elevate your soups to warm up a crowd. Here’s how to add more flavour to your soups and stews with different types of chillies.

Ancho chilli adds a touch of heat and deep notes of earthy flavour to all your Mexican-inspired soups and stews. But it can also add a nice bit of chilli flavour to your average butternut squash soup or corn chowder too!

This is an addictive chilli. You can cook with this fruity, tangy pepper or use it like a seasoning salt. It provides the perfect level of not-too-hot heat as well as a citrus-like quality to cut through richer flavours. It’s trendy for a reason.
