Banana Pepper Soup

"DH had this soup at a restaurant well before I had, and he loved it so much he took me there to taste it so I could re-create it at home. This is a very spicy soup, but could be made less spicy by substituting with a few yellow peppers (green throws the color off). Taste test your peppers as you're cutting them, the soup is bland if they're not hot. Serve with fresh bread and a beverage. I have also had a similar recipe using ground pork sausage, it was good- but I prefer the meat-less version. You can substitute something like yogurt for cream, but it changes the flavor and texture a bit."

  • While sauteing: halve, clean and coarsely chop banana peppers.
  • Add peppers and 1C chicken stock to pan, stir everything in and allow it to start to steam.
  • Add to blender or food processor and puree with cream cheese and cream for several minutes, until smooth.
  • Return to a deep pan, bring to near boil and thicken by SLOWLY adding cornstarch/water mixture until desired consistency is obtained. It should be just a touch thinner than chowder.
