ROASTED RED PEPPER SOUP - a new, easy favorite

      After I made this Roasted Red Pepper Soup I started thinking how wonderful it would be as the first course to a spring dinner, part of a luncheon outdoors on the patio, or because of its extremely easy preparation, a simple meal after an exhausting day working to ready the vegetable garden for planting.

      Adding the cream to this soup, seasoned and whipped, gives it a frothy texture that slowly melts into the puréed tomatoes and roasted peppers.  I added croutons made from the baguettes I bake weekly.  As stingy as I can be with my very good olive oils, I think it's worth it to sauté the bread cubes (in a hot pan) with the best oil you've got.  When browned, sprinkle with a good dose of kosher salt... very tasty.

                           Roasted Red Pepper Soup
                                                   a recipe by Marilyn Harris

• 3 large red bell peppers, roasted, peeled and seeded
• 1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes (I used Italian San Marzano Plum Tomatoes)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• chopped parsley
• Croutons sautéed in olive oil and salted, optional
1.  Purée the peppers and tomatoes in a blender.
2.  Gently heat the garlic in the olive oil, taking care not to let it brown.
3.  Stir in the purée and chicken stock and bring to a boil.
4.  Whip the cream with the salt and hot pepper sauce.
5.  Top each serving of hot soup with the whipped cream and sprinkle with parsley.  Add several croutons, if desired.

This recipe looks so comforting. I have a bunch of yellow pepper, I might use those in this soup.

the soup is so gorgeous.

I'd love it if you would check out and follow my blog! It's my journey exploring the way American women value food and how we can be better served by a more traditional approach to eating and meals.
