Yield Serves 6 to 8 (10 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large red bell peppers
2 onions, chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 cups chicken stock or low-salt broth
1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried herbes de Provence
1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
Dash of cayenne
Accompaniment: sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Quarter peppers lengthwise, discarding stems, seeds, and ribs. Put skin sides up on rack of a broiler pan, and broil about 2 inches from heat until skins are blistered and charred, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered with plastic wrap, until cool enough to handle. Peel peppers and thinly slice.
  • Cook onions in butter in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft. Stir in peppers, stock, and herbes de Provence and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes.
  • Purée soup in a blender in batches (use caution when blending hot liquids). For a smoother texture, force purée through a food mill into a large bowl. Return soup to pot and season with salt, tarragon, and cayenne.
  • Reheat soup.

This soup is easy to make and so flavorful! I added a little bit of extra cumin and chili powder to give it a bit more of a kick. It was the perfect soup for a cold winter day.

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used a little less red pepper than the recipe called for, but it was still plenty spicy. I served it with some crusty bread and it was the perfect meal for a cold night.
