This soup is perfect for a cold autumn night. Roasting concentrates the sweetness in the peppers, which pairs perfectly with garlic. The bright red soup, garnished with bright green chives makes a beautiful course for even the fanciest dinner party.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. red peppers, quartered lengthwise
- 4 oz. shallots, peeled
- 12 cloves garlic, peeled
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 2 cups water
- ¼ cup low-fat sour cream
- ¾ tsp. salt
- 1 bunch chives, finely chopped
Directions
- Toss the peppers, shallots, and garlic with the oil. Spread on a baking sheet with peppers skin-side up.
- Broil on high, stirring halfway through. Remove the garlic cloves when they are golden brown. Remove the rest when the pepper skin begins to blacken and blister (10-12 minutes).
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, cover with foil, and let cool (10 minutes). Once cool enough to handle, remove the foil and peel the skin off the peppers.
- Put the roasted vegetables and all the other ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend on high until smooth. Heat to desired temperature and garnish with chives.
