Chase’s roasted red pepper soup

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

After all the accolades I’ve read about it I’d love to try it, but after searching I can’t find the recipe. Anybody have it to share? Also, I would assume that it calls for roasting your own peppers. Could jarred roasted peppers be used in a pinch?

louise, in case Sharon doesn't come back soon, here is the one I have. She gave it to me when Elery and I visited her in Toronto:

Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Source: Sharon(chase)

4 Red Bell Peppers,roasted, seeded and peeled
2 TBSP Butter (or margarine)
1 Red onion,chopped
2 Garlic cloves,minced
4 cups Chicken broth
1 TBSP Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste

Saute onions and garlic in butter until soft. Add red peppers. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Add broth cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add lemon juice. Process in food processoe until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Place back on stove until ready to serve.

NOTE: To roast the peppers place whole peppers under the broiler or on a hot grill. Turn peppers until blackened on all sides. Place hot peppers in a plastic bag and tie shut. When the peppers have cooled completely remove from the bag. Remove all the skin and seeds.

I don't see why jarred roasted red peppers wouldn't work, although the flavor might not be as sweet as red bell peppers.

Thanks Annie, that's the one. It's my go to recipe for company because it's easy yet elegant. Of late I've been adding a dollop of creme fraiche when serving.

Each Fall I roast and freeze a bushel of red peppers so making this soup is a snap. I've never used jarred peppers so can't comment on that but for sure they would have to be packed in water , not oil.

roasted red pepper spread: how thick?
Q

The original recipe has a name I cannot pronounce. I tasted a roasted red pepper spread at my ex BF's place the first time, and the recipe came from his father. The original recipe is from the former Yugoslavia, don't know which side. It is made by roasting peppers, tomatoes and eggplant if you care for them. Skinning them comes next and you then grind them with a meat grinder, more interesting than puree. Here is the thing though. The last part of the recipe calls for mashing raw garlic with salt, lots of both, than mixing with the pepper and some oil. The taste is to die for, much better even than this spread, which is pretty good. My alternative to this, since it would not be safe to can, is to mash a bit of garlic with a bit of salt and a teaspoon of oil and add it to some of this here pepper spread when I want to eat it, almost like the original. It is amazing with sausages, spread on bread and with omelets too. Actually, I could eat the original with anything. Oh, and I think the oil emulsified with the peppers because the texture was much thicker. Anyway, thought you guys would like to know... Marie (now going to eat some of my wonderful spread)

Question about the roasted tomato garlic soup

Yes, it's my recipe, Lexlani. It looks like you have an old copy. I've since added after 'To can:'...DO NOT ADD CREAM WHEN CANNING. There was a little confusion when I first posted it...I forget not everyone knows not to can dairy. You still have a lot of low acid vegies (the carrots, onion and all that garlic)and it needs to be processed in a pressure canner, just not as long as it would when using chicken broth. ksrogers may be thinking of the flavor of the final product (?). Many times added herbs will turn bitter when processed, but I've never noticed it with this recipe (I usually wind up using dried basil).

Katie's roasted tomato soup and canning paranoia question
Q

the long processing time and the low viscosity of soups allows a lot of wiggle room. Agree. As Annie explained above it is the long pressure canning time that makes it safe. So 2 cups or 3 cups only affects the density, the consistency of the soup as it goes into the jars and the long processing time allows for different consistencies. "the timing is for the chicken broth. 2 cups or 3 cups, it's still just chicken broth and the time required to can it doesn't increase whether you are canning 2 cups or 20 cups." Depending on the amount of vegetables I roast, I often use even more broth since I want it to have a ready-to-eat consistency when opened. I don't want to have to dilute it even more after opening.

Roasted garlic and tomato soup addition?

brokenbar posted this one on bring out your soups and stews. Roasted Pepper & Tomato Soup 2 sweet red peppers 6 cups tomatoes, chopped (2 - 28 oz. cans, undrained) 2 tablespoons sugar 2 cloves garlic salt pepper 1/4 cup heavy cream 4 tablespoons butter 1 yellow Bell Pepper cut into rings (garnish) Sour Cream (garnish) Grill the peppers, turning frequently, until blackened all over. Peel off the skin. Gently wipe or scrape off any remaining black stuff from the outside. Cut open and discard seeds and white insides. Do not wash as this will flush away much of the flavour. Puree peppers and tomatoes in a blender or food processor. Strain out seeds. I use my own jars of tomato sauce that has no seeds. Place pepper/tomato mixture in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except butter. Simmer uncovered for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Set pan in ice water and gradually whisk in butter. Cool, cover and refrigerate overnight. Next day, heat gently, garnish with yellow bell pepper ring with a dollop of sour cream inside ring and serve. Note: This soup is quite mild. Some people might like to add a little zing, like maybe a dash of Tabasco.

Chase, is that your original recipe? The one I have includes 1/4 cup of cream or half 'n half.

I make it at least once a month. I used to roast my own peppers, but it's just as easy to use jarred. I buy them at Trader Joe's.

I sub shallots for the red onion and add some minced serranos. I grow serranos and let them turn red before harvest. I keep a supply in the freezer for year round use. Gives the soup a nice little kick.

Don't forget the lemon wedges for serving. Adds a wonderful flavor profile to the finished soup.

Not sure what you are asking catticus......

Yes that is my original recipe, although I got it from somewhere so it isn't "original " in that sense. I think maybe from the " Best of Bridge" but that was decades ago.

I have never added cream but I can see how that would be good.

My copy of your recipe calls for cream. I did adapt it with the shallots and serranos, but thought the cream was on the original. Maybe it said creme fraiche and I changed it to cream. It was in the Trattoria cookbook that Eileen put together.

That's odd, I have never used cream and it's not in my copy of my recipe. I just started using a dollop of creme fraiche on top lately. I can see how it would be good with cream but I've never done that.

You have me curious, I'm going to see if I can find where I originally got the recipe.....it was a million years ago.

I found the Trattoria cookbook, but I don't think it's complete. There's no soup category and I could have sworn that's where I got your recipe ... but maybe not.

My copy doesn' t have a soup section ether which I find odd. However, what a great trip down memory lane and a reminder of some dynamite recipes I haven't made in ages.
