1. In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil.  Add the shallots and sauté until soft.  Add peppers, potatoes, chicken broth and water.  Bring to a boil.  Simmer until vegetables are very soft.

This looks great, I can imagine the freshness of the peppers and smoothness of the pureed potato being a tasty combination.
