Steps:
- Preheat oven to broil.
- Place the bell peppers on a baking sheet and broil on the top rack of the oven, using tongs to turn them as each side blackens. Place the blackened peppers in a paper bag, close tightly and allow them to cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Then peel the skin off the peppers and discard the stem and all the seeds. Chop the peppers and set aside.
- In a large pot over medium heat, saute the onion and garlic in the oil for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Now add the chopped, roasted red bell peppers and saute for 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Next, add the chicken broth and the beans, stirring well. Using a blender, puree the soup in small batches and return to the pot over low heat for 5 minutes.

Steps:
- In a kettle cook the potato, peeled and diced, and the onion in the oil over moderately low heat until the onion is softened, add 1 cup water, and simmer the mixture, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the potato is tender. In a blender purée the mixture with the milk and in the kettle combine the mixture with the roasted peppers, the Worcestershire sauce, and the Tabasco. Heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring in handfuls of the Cheddar, until the Cheddar is melted and the soup is hot (but do not let it boil), and garnish the soup with the coriander and the croutons.
Tips:
- Choose ripe bell peppers: Look for bell peppers that are deeply colored and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid peppers that are soft or have wrinkles.
- Roast the bell peppers properly: Roasting the bell peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 10-15 minutes, or until the skins are blackened. Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling and seeding them.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water. If you're using water, you may want to add a little bit of salt and pepper to taste.
- Don't overcook the soup: Roasted red bell pepper soup is a quick and easy soup to make. However, it's important to not overcook the soup. Once the soup is simmering, let it cook for just 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Garnish the soup before serving: A simple garnish can make a big difference in the presentation of the soup. Some popular garnishes for roasted red bell pepper soup include croutons, crumbled bacon, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese.
