5th April – Red/orange pepper soup

Ingredients (serves 2):

  • 10g butter
  • 2 red or orange peppers – chopped
  • 1/2 onion – chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic – minced
  • 300ml of chicken stock
  • 50ml of double cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat then add in the peppers, onion and garlic.  Saute for 5 to 10 minutes until nice and soft.  Pour in the chicken stock, bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Either transfer the soup to a blender or use a hand blender to make a smooth soup base.  Return the mixture to the pan and pour in the cream, add the salt and pepper to taste and heat through for a further 5 to 10 minutes.
