CREAM OF ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER SOUP WITH ROASTED SWEET CORN AND CILANTRO- LIME SOUR CREAM
Steps:
- Slice the peppers in half lengthwise; remove stem, seeds and membrane. Place under the broiler skin side up until the skin turns black and blisters. Remove and immediately place in a small paper bag or plastic container with a tight lid. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes; this will loosen the roasted skin. Remove peppers and rub off the black skin with your fingers. Chop skinned peppers and set aside.
- Saute the butter, onions, and garlic until soft in a heavy bottomed soup pot on medium-low heat. Add the reserved red peppers, tomato paste, and chicken stock. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat, and then simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cornstarch mixed with a little cold water to thicken. Simmer 5 minutes. *Let the soup cool slightly, and then blend in batches in a blender, or use an immersion blender to puree. Sprinkle the roasted corn over the soup before serving and top with a dollop of Cilantro Lime Sour Cream.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients vigorously until light and creamy.

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. For a pretty touch, top the soup with grated cheese and parsley. We enjoy it with jalapeno cheese buns. You can also serve it with warm garlic bread. -Barb Nelson, Victoria, British Columbia

SPICY RED BELL PEPPER SOUP
I love this recipe because it uses fresh, sweet red bell peppers, as opposed to roasted red peppers. It's full of other fresh vegetables and thyme, too, and it freezes exceptionally well. Rice is used as the thickening agent, rather than cream. If you don't like a lot of spice, reduce the amount of cayenne and red pepper flakes.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful bell peppers. The color of the bell pepper will determine the color of the soup, so choose a variety that you like. Red bell peppers are the most common, but you can also use yellow, orange, or even purple bell peppers.
- Roast the bell peppers before pureeing them. Roasting the bell peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the bell peppers in a 400°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until they are charred and tender.
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor to puree the soup. This will ensure that the soup is smooth and creamy. If you don't have a high-powered blender or food processor, you can also use a regular blender or food processor, but you may need to puree the soup in batches.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other spices that you like. You can also add a bit of cream or milk to make the soup richer.
- Serve the soup hot or cold. Sweet red bell pepper soup is delicious served hot or cold. If you are serving the soup cold, be sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Sweet red bell pepper soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for any occasion.
