Steps:
- Roast peppers: rub oil on peppers and put them under the broiler until blackened, turn to get all sides. Put into paper bag and seal. Let rest for 15 minutes, then peel will come right off and core and seeds will fall out. Chop peppers. Reserve one chopped pepper; set aside.
- Heat olive oil over moderate heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft but not brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato, bell peppers (except reserved), thyme, paprika, and sugar. Cook over medium-low heat until all the tomato juices have evaporated, about 25 minutes.
- Stir in chicken stock, salt and pepper, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Bring to boiling, lower heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Strain soup, reserving broth. Place solids in food processor or blender, and process until fairly smooth. Add puree back into broth.
- Melt butter and stir in the flour, cook for 1 minute. Stirring slowly, add the broth/vegetable mixture. Add reserved chopped pepper and bring to boiling. Lower heat and simmer 10 minutes.
- Ladle into bowls and add 1 tablespoon of sour cream to each bowl. For a lighter soup, this is also delicious without the sour cream.

TOMATO-GINGER SOUP
This is based on a recipe from Ken Hom's Quick & Easy Chinese Cooking. He says in its intro: "This soup is a year-round favorite of mine because it can be made successfully with canned tomatoes, one of the few processed foods I find acceptable, so you need not wait for fresh tomatoes to come into season. Of course, it is delicious made with fresh ripe tomatoes when they are available at a reasonable price, and they also need little preparation and cook quickly. This is a refreshing soup that makes a sparkling first course. On hot summer days, try serving it at room temperature. For a Southeast Asian touch, add 2 tablesppoons lemon juice. The soup reheats successfully." My picky DH really likes it! :)

RED PEPPER SOUP WITH GINGER AND FENNEL
This has always been a favorite soup of mine. I made it very recently with the last of the bell peppers on my plants. The leaves had shriveled already, but the peppers were still hanging on. It was such a cold, damp day that I decided to add some warming ginger to the soup for added comfort.

Steps:
- Chop the peppers coarsely after discarding all the seeds.
- Pour the oil into a large, wide pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the peppers, onions, potatoes, ginger, fennel seeds, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne. Stir and fry until all the vegetables just start to brown. Add 2 cups of the stock and the salt. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat to low, and simmer gently for 25 minutes.
- Ladle the soup in batches into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the blended soup into a clean pot. Add the remaining stock, thinning the soup out as much as you like. Add the cream and mix it in. Adjust salt, as needed. Heat through before serving.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Look for tomatoes that are deeply colored and have a slightly sweet aroma.
- Use a variety of peppers: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of peppers. Bell peppers, chili peppers, and even habanero peppers can all add unique flavors to your soup.
- Don't be afraid to add some heat: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few slices of jalapeño pepper to your soup. Just be sure to taste as you go, so you don't overdo it.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger adds a bright, zesty flavor to the soup. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can use ground ginger, but be sure to reduce the amount you use, as ground ginger is more concentrated.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Red pepper tomato ginger soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better when served with your favorite toppings. Try adding a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of crumbled bacon, or a few croutons.
Conclusion:
Red pepper tomato ginger soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its vibrant color, bold flavor, and versatility, this soup is sure to become a favorite in your household.
