With the weather cooling and everyone gearing up for the winter, we thought it was appropriate to share one of our favourite tummy warming dishess: Roasted Red Pepper Soup. A big warm bowl with a chunk of fresh bread is the perfect chilly evening meal.
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1/2 onion
- 1 Stalk of celery
- 1 Red pepper
- 1 Yellow pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp fresh parsley
- ½ tsp chervil
- 3 tbsp flour
- 4 ½ cups chicken stock
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp whipping cream
Sauté the onion in butter for 5 mins, covered. Add celery; sauté 5 minutes more. Add peppers, sauté 5 to 6 minutes, and then add spices. Turn heat to low, sprinkle evenly with flour; mix well.
Add chicken stock, bring back to boil, and then simmer for 20 minutes with lid partially covering pot. Puree with either a hand mixer or food processor. Add salt & pepper to taste, and whisk in cream. Voila!
