Categories     Pepper

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 c olive oil
1 c chopped onion
1 tbsp dried fennel seed
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/2 bay leaf, crumbled
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp minced jalapeno pepper
1/4 c all-purpose flour
5 c chicken stock
1/2 c peeled, seeded and chopped fresh tomato
1 tsp. tomato paste
6 large red bell peppers halved, seeded and cut into 2-inch chunks
1/2 to 1 c heavy cream
pinch of sugar
salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a 4-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel seed, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, basil and jalapeno pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the onion is translucent, about 10-15 min. Add the flour and cook stirring constantly for 10 min. In a separate pot bring the stock to a boil. Carefully pour the stock over the vegetables, stirring well to incorporate. Add the tomato and tomato paste. Meanwhile, place a large skillet lightly coated with olive oil over high heat. Saute the bell pepper chunks until the sins are blistered and lightly charred. Add the peppers to the soup and simmer, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot, for about 20 min. Remove the soup from the heat and puree in blender/food processor. Strain. Return the soup to the saucepan, bring to a simmer, and add 1/2 c cream and sugar, if spicy add more cream.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I often add a cup or two of shredded chicken or turkey to the soup.

I added a bit of chopped cilantro to the soup before serving and it really brightened up the flavor.

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I often make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week for lunch or dinner.

I used canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes and it worked just fine.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I simply added all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cooked it on low for 8 hours. The soup was thick and creamy and the flavors had really developed. I will definitely be making

I added a bit of spice to the soup by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. It gave the soup a nice kick.

I made this soup last night and it was a hit with my family. The soup was flavorful and the sweetness of the bell peppers balanced out the tanginess of the tomatoes. I will definitely be making this soup again.
