Banana Pepper Soup image

DH had this soup at a restaurant well before I had, and he loved it so much he took me there to taste it so I could re-create it at home. This is a very spicy soup, but could be made less spicy by substituting with a few yellow peppers (green throws the color off). Taste test your peppers as you're cutting them, the soup is bland if they're not hot. Serve with fresh bread and a beverage. I have also had a similar recipe using ground pork sausage, it was good- but I prefer the meat-less version. You can substitute something like yogurt for cream, but it changes the flavor and texture a bit.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons olive oil
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1 1/2 cups chicken stock (reserve 1/2C)
6 ounces heavy cream (optional)
7 -9 banana peppers
1/2 medium onion
2 -3 garlic, cloves- crushed to remove skin
8 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated
salt and pepper
8 ounces flour, and water for thickening

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat 2tsp olive oil, coarsely chop onion, and lightly saute them with garlic for about ten minutes.
  • While sauteing: halve, clean and coarsely chop banana peppers.
  • Add peppers and 1C chicken stock to pan, stir everything in and allow it to start to steam.
  • Add to blender or food processor and puree with cream cheese and cream for several minutes, until smooth.
  • Return to a deep pan, bring to near boil and thicken by SLOWLY adding cornstarch/water mixture until desired consistency is obtained. It should be just a touch thinner than chowder.

I was a bit skeptical about this soup at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The roasted banana peppers gave it a smoky, slightly sweet flavor that was perfectly balanced by the coconut milk. I'll definitely be making this again.
