Persimmon Habanero Soup as the name suggests has a subtle sweetness and prominent spicy flavor. This soup is very low in calories and has 0 fats especially if you use your own homemade oil free vegetable broth. Also, not to forget it’s cozy yet satisfying.
Inspite of the hot and sweet flavor of the soup it is absolutely delightful and perfect for the winter weather. It takes only about 20 minutes and is a desirable work night meal. Just pair it with almond crackers and it tastes outstanding.
The wonderful winter ingredients when blended together bring out a spicylicious flavor along with mild sweet tinge from persimmon fruit.
We have been enjoying this combination for quite some time now. It’s absolutely fun to gorge into Persimmon Habanero Soup with its tantalizing flavors and not to forget its nutrition content.
I personally prefer a fruit in my soup. Also, I mostly add some sweetness to my soup and preferably a fruit. I love my soups when they are sweet and salty. It gives me immense satisfaction and a sense of happiness too.
It’s freezing outside already and Seattle is colder at this time than usually it is. So all of this week I have been living on warm soups to survive through the already cold air. However, winter is fun and festive.

Hi! I have not tried it personally, but I think any other pepper will change the original taste. The closest I can think is of jalapeno peppers as a substitute. Hope this helps 🙂
