Steps:
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place the pepper onto the prepared baking sheet. Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the pepper has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn pepper over to blacken all sides. Place the blackened pepper into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the pepper to steam as it cools, about 20 minutes. Cut the pepper in half and remove seeds; strip and discard skin from pepper, chop, and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add green onion and roasted red bell pepper; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Stir in peas and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Pour in vegetable broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until peas are tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in basil, remove from heat, and let cool. Pour pea mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Return soup to pot over medium heat and cook until heated through; season with salt and cracked black pepper to taste.

Steps:
- Add butter to large saucepan and melt over medium heat.
- Add onion and garlic and saute for about 4 minutes, just to get the aromas flowing.
- Sprinkle mixture with black pepper.
- Add roasted red pepper and cook for another couple of minutes.
- Pour in the can of diced tomatoes with juice and raise heat.
- Pour in cup of water and add bouillon cube.
- Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once bouillon cube has dissolved add cream and stir, removing from heat.
- *Give the soup a quick taste to see if salt is needed. Generally the bouillon cube is salty enough so you will probably not need it.
- Transfer small amounts of the soup into a blender, trying to keep an even liquid to vegetable ratio.
- Puree until there are little to no chunks left and pour into another saucepan.
- Continue this until all the mixture is pureed, leaving you with a hearty, thick soup.
- **If you want to freeze batches, do not add the cream. Puree the soup as normal, omitting the cream and add cream at a later time when the soup is defrosted.
- ***I use heavy whipping cream because I love the rich taste. If you want to cut back perhaps use only 3/4 cup or use a lower cream altogether. I find the heavy cream gives the soup a nice texture.
- ****Instead of using water and a bouillon cube you could always use store bought broth.
ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER SOUP
A delicious, creamy textured soup without the cream. The secret is in the beans! This soup is an all time favorite in my family. Serve hot or cold with a dollop of sour cream, or goat cheese. Sprinkle with some chopped watercress.
