Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Time: 1 hrs 20 mins

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

• 1 Broil the red peppers, turning them so they blacken on all sides. Once they\u2019re black, put them in a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and leave them until they\u2019re cool enough to handle (about 30 minutes). Peel, seed, and roughly chop them.
• 2 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.
• 3 Finely chop the garlic, add to the pot, and cook for 2 minutes.
• 4 Drain the tomatoes, and add to the pot with the red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 minutes.
• 5 Add the chicken stock. Puree with a stick blender until smooth, and simmer for 15 more minutes.
