Cream of Red Pepper Soup image

For roasting peppers, you can follow the oven method (see Peasant'sHearth's Recipe #137169) or stovetop method (see Julesong's Recipe #51522) or substitute commercial bottled roasted peppers (though some of the flavor is lost with the bottled kind). For a lighter version, use half-and-half. Preparation time does NOT include the time for roasting the peppers.
