Roasted Red Bell Pepper Soup





Serves 6 Cups
Fresh, Flavorful and Fantastic!
Ingredients:
8 red bell peppers |
1 bay leaf |
5 black peppercorns |
2 thyme sprigs |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 large onion, diced |
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced |
4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
Salt |
black pepper, Freshly ground |
fresh chives, for garnish, Chopped |
Directions:
- Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise; remove membranes and seeds. Set pepper halves, cut sides down, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Press down on pepper halves to flatten them. Broil until blackened, about 15 minutes. Place blackened pepper halves into a zip-top plastic bag; seal shut. Let rest for 15 minutes. Peel skins off of pepper halves. Chop peppers.
- Set bay leaf, peppercorns and thyme on a double layer cheesecloth. Gather edges of cheesecloth together and tie securely.
- Set a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Heat oil. Add onion to Dutch oven; cook and stir until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Add garlic to Dutch oven; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add bell peppers, cheesecloth bag, broth, vinegar and hot pepper sauce to Dutch oven; bring ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat to simmering, cover Dutch oven and cook ingredients for 20 minutes. Remove and discard cheesecloth bag. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
- Remove the middle piece from the lid of a blender to allow steam to escape. Place half of the soup mixture into blender. Hold lid down and cover opening in lid with a cloth. Blend ingredients until smooth. Pour soup into a large bowl. Repeat with remaining bell pepper mixture.
- Garnish with chives before serving.
