directions

  • Add butter to large saucepan and melt over medium heat.
  • Add onion and garlic and saute for about 4 minutes, just to get the aromas flowing.
  • Sprinkle mixture with black pepper.
  • Add roasted red pepper and cook for another couple of minutes.
  • Pour in the can of diced tomatoes with juice and raise heat.
  • Pour in cup of water and add bouillon cube.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Once bouillon cube has dissolved add cream and stir, removing from heat.
  • *Give the soup a quick taste to see if salt is needed. Generally the bouillon cube is salty enough so you will probably not need it.
  • Transfer small amounts of the soup into a blender, trying to keep an even liquid to vegetable ratio.
  • Puree until there are little to no chunks left and pour into another saucepan.
  • Continue this until all the mixture is pureed, leaving you with a hearty, thick soup.
  • **If you want to freeze batches, do not add the cream. Puree the soup as normal, omitting the cream and add cream at a later time when the soup is defrosted.
  • ***I use heavy whipping cream because I love the rich taste. If you want to cut back perhaps use only 3/4 cup or use a lower cream altogether. I find the heavy cream gives the soup a nice texture.
  • ****Instead of using water and a bouillon cube you could always use store bought broth.

  1. Most of thought this needed a little *something* but dh thought it was spectacular as is. Definitely easy to make. I used jarred, drained, rinsed peppers. Made for PAC Fall '12.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I became a vegetarian a couple of years ago. My husband is a big meat eater so we try to find dishes that can be created with or without meat. I love to cook and bake for everyone! Though school and work seems to get in my way a lot, I do get a lot of requests from my coworkers.
