Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 large red bell peppers
- 1 large onion, chopped

- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream

- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe red bell peppers for the best flavor.
- Roast the peppers until they are charred and tender for maximum flavor.
- Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the soup until it is smooth and creamy.
Cooking Process:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the red bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and stems. Place the peppers on a baking sheet, cut side down, and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the peppers are tender.
2. While the peppers are roasting, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Peel off the charred skin and discard.
5. Add the roasted peppers to the pot with the onion and broth. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth.
6. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
