Tips:
- Use fresh red peppers for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh peppers on hand, you can use frozen or jarred peppers, but the flavor will be less intense.
- To easily remove the skin from the tomatoes, score an "X" on the bottom of each tomato and place them in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Then, transfer them to a bowl of cold water and the skins will slip right off.
- If you want a creamy bisque, use heavy cream or half-and-half. For a lighter bisque, use milk or vegetable broth.
- Season the bisque to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. You can also add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
- Serve the bisque hot with a crusty bread or crackers.
