RED PEPPER SOUP



Red Pepper Soup image

While I don't have scientific proof of it, Red Pepper Soup works for me as a head cold remedy! It is a good gift to take when visiting a sick friend, too. For a pretty touch, top the soup with grated cheese and parsley. We enjoy it with jalapeno cheese buns. You can also serve it with warm garlic bread. -Barb Nelson, Victoria, British Columbia

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 pound mini sweet bell peppers
4 cloves garlic
8 ounces feta, crumbled
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pepperoncini peppers, stemmed, plus 1 tablespoon reserved juice
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Wrap a 3-foot piece of foil around the center of the pan, scooting it down as best you can.
  • Cut the tops off the peppers and hollow out the centers to remove the membranes and seeds. Using a small spoon is easiest. Set aside.
  • Add the garlic to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the feta, cream cheese, oil, pepperoncini and juice. Pulse until it is a smooth mixture. Sprinkle in the parsley and oregano, then pulse a few more times until blended. Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed peppers.
  • Arrange the peppers so that they are standing up nestled side-by-side in a single layer in the prepared Bundt pan. Bake until the cheese mixture is golden, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with parsley. Let cool slightly before eating, or serve at room temperature.

ROASTED RED PEPPER SOUP WITH TOMATO & FETA



Roasted Red Pepper Soup With Tomato & Feta image

This is a restaurant quality soup - will not fail to please. Fantastic colour and taste.......... I haven't seen it in any cookbook (although I am sure it does exist somewhere). I was given it by a lady that runs a restaurant here on the Isle of Man called 'Indigo Red'.

Provided by scimietta99

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 4 generous portions, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1200 g canned tomatoes
250 g marinated roasted red peppers
100 g onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
125 g feta cheese
1 teaspoon dried basil
chili sauce

Steps:

  • Start by melting the olive oil and cooking the finely chopped onion over a low heat with the basil. Important that it doesn't take any colour. After a couple of minutes I usually add a little water then turn down the heat, cover with a lid and leave to 'sweat' for 5 minutes.
  • When the onion is translucent add the tinned tomatoes. Please don't skimp when you buy your tinned tomatoes - you get what you pay for - the cherry tomatoes have an even more intense flavour. 3 large tins is exactly the right amount.
  • At the same time add the red peppers. Drain them first. Simmer, covered for about 10 minutes. You can, if you wish, use fresh peppers but you will need to burn the skins and de-seed (you would need 4 large fresh red peppers - no other colour works). The ready prepared variety are much easier and there is no loss of flavour. I buy mine in a jar - they have been charred and the skin removed and are with brine/vinegar.
  • Allow the soup to cool a little. Add the sweet chilli sauce - I usually add a good 'glug' - if I had to give a quantity I would say around 4 tbs - but to your taste. Dont miss it out though as it doesn't taste the same without it.
  • Liquidise the soup, adding the feta cheese which you should cut into small cubes.
  • Reheat to serve but don't let it boil. The flavour is so intense it is perfect as it is but, for a dinner party, you could crumble some extra feta on the top and add a bit of basil.
  • A crowd pleaser and always sure to impress.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, roast the red peppers over an open flame or under a broiler before pureeing them.
  • If you don't have any vegetable broth, you can use water instead. Just add a little extra salt and pepper to taste.
  • For a thicker soup, add a cornstarch slurry or a roux. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Then, whisk the slurry into the soup and bring to a boil. To make a roux, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Then, whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour until smooth. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, then whisk it into the soup and bring to a boil.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, a sprinkle of feta cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve it.

Conclusion:

Red pepper soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover roasted red peppers. With its vibrant color and creamy texture, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give this red pepper soup a try.
