Six Ingredients

Roasted Red Bell Pepper Soup with Cream

(MASTER RECIPE)



roasted red pepper soup


Ingredients:


Red bell peppers roasted
(I added yellow as well)
Three large cloves of garlic smashed
Salt
Pepper
Heavy whipping cream
Vegetable or Chicken Broth


Preparation:


I don't measure.

I roast my own peppers.

Puree the roasted peppers
(make sure you have removed all the seeds before puree'ing)
(as well as the skins if you have roasted them yourself)

Add enough broth to thin it out to your liking.
(remember you are adding cream to this)

smash the cloves of garlic.
add to the soup.
salt and pepper to taste

simmer on low for an hour.

Add the heavy cream.
I like a lot of cream.
but that's me.




I like more cream than what's in this picture
and this cream was added
after i poured the soup
for prettiness.






The Cook's word on soup:

It always taste better the next day.
Everybody knows that right?

It doesn't take 3290485675 ingredients
to make something spectacular.
Everybody knows that too ...

Sometimes,
we try too hard.
We over season, when we didn't need to.
it ruins what was already good.


This is just a base recipe...
the roasted bell peppers could be switched out for
pumpkin
butternut squash
broccoli
corn
asparagus
cauliflower
garlic
potato



y'all have a good weekend.
