Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup image

This is my favorite soup. It's a nice balance of sweet and savory, and it freezed beautifully. I like it with grilled cheese. (I hate to specify a brand name / hard to find ingredient, but I haven't found a good substitute for Thai Kitchen's roasted red chili paste.) [This is adapted from The Naked Chef (Jamie Oliver).]

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 red peppers
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon roasted red chili paste
1 garlic clove
3 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cups chicken stock
salt

Steps:

  • Broil the red peppers, turning them so they blacken on all sides. Once they're black, put them in a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and leave them until they're cool enough to handle (about 30 minutes). Peel, seed, and roughly chop them.
  • Warm the olive oil in a thick-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the peppers, chili paste, and a pinch of salt, stir to combine, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Finely chop the garlic, add to the pot, and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Drain the tomatoes, and add to the pot with the red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Add the chicken stock. Puree with a stick blender until smooth, and simmer for 15 more minutes.
