SWEET RED BELL PEPPER SOUP
Steps:
- In a 4-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel seed, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, basil and jalapeno pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the onion is translucent, about 10-15 min. Add the flour and cook stirring constantly for 10 min. In a separate pot bring the stock to a boil. Carefully pour the stock over the vegetables, stirring well to incorporate. Add the tomato and tomato paste. Meanwhile, place a large skillet lightly coated with olive oil over high heat. Saute the bell pepper chunks until the sins are blistered and lightly charred. Add the peppers to the soup and simmer, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot, for about 20 min. Remove the soup from the heat and puree in blender/food processor. Strain. Return the soup to the saucepan, bring to a simmer, and add 1/2 c cream and sugar, if spicy add more cream.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful bell peppers: Look for bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the bell peppers before blending: Roasting the bell peppers brings out their natural sweetness and smoky flavor. You can roast the peppers in the oven or on a grill. Simply place the peppers on a baking sheet or grill grate and cook until the skins are charred and blistered.
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor: To get a smooth and creamy soup, use a high-powered blender or food processor. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can also use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the soup in batches.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is blended, season it with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup hot or cold: Sweet bell pepper soup can be served hot or cold. If you're serving the soup hot, garnish it with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil. If you're serving the soup cold, chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.
