Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Roasting the red peppers is key to achieving the rich, smoky flavor of this soup. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered. Let them cool, then peel off the skin and remove the seeds.
- Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the soup until it's smooth and creamy.
- Serve with a sprinkle of feta cheese and a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.
Cooking Process:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the roasted red peppers and vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let the soup cool slightly. Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the soup until it's smooth and creamy.
4. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the crumbled feta cheese and heavy cream. Heat over low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with a sprinkle of feta cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
