CHEDDAR AND ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER SOUP



Cheddar and Roasted Red Bell Pepper Soup image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Blender     Vegetarian     Cheddar     Bell Pepper     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 6 cups, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

a 1/2-pound russet (baking) potato
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups milk
2 large red bell peppers, roasted and diced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco, or to taste
14 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, grated coarse
finely chopped fresh coriander for garnish
croutons for garnish if desired

Steps:

  • In a kettle cook the potato, peeled and diced, and the onion in the oil over moderately low heat until the onion is softened, add 1 cup water, and simmer the mixture, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the potato is tender. In a blender purée the mixture with the milk and in the kettle combine the mixture with the roasted peppers, the Worcestershire sauce, and the Tabasco. Heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring in handfuls of the Cheddar, until the Cheddar is melted and the soup is hot (but do not let it boil), and garnish the soup with the coriander and the croutons.

Tips:

  • Select the ripest red bell peppers: Look for vibrant, deep red peppers that are firm and heavy for their size. Avoid peppers with blemishes or wrinkles.
  • Char the bell peppers for a smoky flavor: Roasting the peppers over an open flame or under a broiler adds a delicious smoky flavor to the soup. If you don't have access to a grill or broiler, you can also roast the peppers in a hot oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to dice the bell peppers: This will help you get even, bite-sized pieces that will cook evenly.
  • Sauté the vegetables until they are soft: This step helps to develop the flavors of the vegetables and create a flavorful base for the soup.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this soup, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy the taste of. A sharp cheddar or extra sharp cheddar will give the soup a bold flavor, while a mild cheddar will produce a more subtle flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Serve the soup hot: This soup is best enjoyed hot, so be sure to serve it immediately after it's made.

Conclusion:

Cheddar and roasted red bell pepper soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. The smoky flavor of the roasted peppers pairs perfectly with the sharp cheddar cheese, and the creamy texture of the soup is sure to warm you up from the inside out. This soup is also a great way to use up leftover roasted red peppers. So next time you have some leftover peppers, be sure to give this soup a try!
