Yield Serves 6 to 8 (10 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large red bell peppers
2 onions, chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 cups chicken stock or low-salt broth
1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried herbes de Provence
1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
Dash of cayenne
Accompaniment: sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Quarter peppers lengthwise, discarding stems, seeds, and ribs. Put skin sides up on rack of a broiler pan, and broil about 2 inches from heat until skins are blistered and charred, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered with plastic wrap, until cool enough to handle. Peel peppers and thinly slice.
  • Cook onions in butter in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft. Stir in peppers, stock, and herbes de Provence and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes.
  • Purée soup in a blender in batches (use caution when blending hot liquids). For a smoother texture, force purée through a food mill into a large bowl. Return soup to pot and season with salt, tarragon, and cayenne.
  • Reheat soup.

I'm not a fan of red pepper soup, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The soup is creamy and flavorful, and the roasted peppers give it a nice depth of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover roasted peppers. It's also a very affordable meal to make. I often make a big batch and freeze it for later.

This soup is a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning. I also found the texture to be a bit too thick. I would recommend adding more liquid to thin it out.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect amount of heat. I think next time I'll use half the amount of cayenne pepper.
