<h1>Oven or Fire Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup, Delicious by Chef Shelley Pogue</h1>Author: <a title="Chef Shelley R. Pogue" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/chef-shelley-r.-pogue/45059.htm">Chef Shelley R. Pogue</a> Ingredients you will need:

1.5 lbs of Red Peppers

l lb Fresh Tomatoes

1 large Onion

4 cloves Garlic

1 tablespoon Tomato paste

1 1/2 quarts Chicken stock

1 teaspoon Fresh Basil

1 pinch of thyme and 1 pinch of oregano

1/2 cup of grated Parmesan Cheese

1 Tablespoon Olive oil

Salt and Pepper T.T. = ( to taste )

Cut the tomatoes in half, and do the same with the peppers, cut the onion into quarters, and remove skin from garlic cloves and brush all with olive oil. Place all in the oven on a large metal grates for good air circulation and bake with the flesh side down. If you do not have the metal grates use a roasting pan, but remove the moisture from the veggies often so you will not braise them in the oven. Roast in a 200-250 degree oven for about 20- 30 minutes, if you are using larger vegetables it may take longer than the suggested time. Cook them until the tomato and pepper skins start to wilt and brown. If the garlic and onion start to get too brown remove them and let the tomato and pepper continue to roast. Remove from roasting pan, and put the vegetables into a bowl, cover with saran wrap and allow to rest for about 10-15 minutes. The steam from the roasted veggies will make them easier to peel.You will want to peel and puree your roasted veggie mix at this time. An immersion blender works the best but a stand alone blender will work also. Puree the mixture well to end up with a better finished product.In a soup pot you will add chicken stock, herbs, your pureed vegetables, and cook at a simmer for about 30-45 minutes to allow all of the flavors to bloom. Before you are ready to serve add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir it to a smooth consistency. If you have fresh herbs you may add them for garnish when you place the soup into your serving bowls. You may serve hot or cold. If you wish to serve cold chill for several hours in the fridge or create an ice bath to set your hot soup into to chill it down. You will need to adjust the seasonings reguardless of how you serve them right before you serve yourself and or guest.

You may also add heavy cream and a pinch of sugar for extra flavor if you don't mind the calories.

This is a great recipe and it is fairly easy to make. If you do not feel like roasting your vegetables you can use canned. It will not be as delicious, but it will work in a pinch/time crunch.About the Author: I am from Dallas, Texas and I moved to Austin, Texas in 2005 to attend Culinary School.
