Summer Red Pepper Soup
Recipe type: Soup
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • 6 large red bell peppers, chopped into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • creme fraiche and thyme sprigs as garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil. Add in onion and cook for 5-6 minutes, until translucent. Add in garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  2. Stir in white wine, letting it cook down until only a little bit remains. Add in broth, peppers, thyme, red pepper flakes, and salt. Mix well, cover, and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
  3. Once peppers have fully softened, use an immersion blender or a food processor to puree the soup until no chunks remain. Adjust salt and pepper as needed. Let soup cool completely and serve with a dollop of creme fraiche and a thyme sprig, if desired.
  4. This soup can be served warm as well, but i think it's much more delicious cold.
