RED PEPPER SOUP
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.

ROASTED RED PEPPER SOUP WITH TOMATO & FETA
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'.

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.

Steps:
- Char peppers directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and quarter peppers. Puree peppers, oil, garlic, and cheese in processor. Season with salt and pepper. Chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful red peppers: Look for peppers with vibrant red color and firm flesh. Avoid peppers with blemishes or bruises.
- Roast the red peppers before blending: Roasting the peppers enhances their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in a hot oven or over an open flame.
- Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will ensure that the soup is smooth and creamy. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can blend the soup in batches.
- Don't overcook the soup: Once the soup is simmering, do not overcook it. Overcooking can make the soup bland and watery.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or paprika.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and feta cheese: Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, and crumbled feta cheese. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Red pepper soup with feta cheese is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a snack. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant color and creamy texture, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
