Cream of Bell Pepper Soup

Mollie Katzen
Serves: 4
 
An indescribable shade of creamy red-orange, this is a beautiful, rich-tasting soup that is quite easy to prepare.  You can do steps 1 through 4 up to several days ahead.  Then let the soup come to room temperature (or a little warmer) before pureeing it with the soymilk.  Also, be sure the milk is at least as warm as room temperature.  Attention to these details will prevent curdling.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups minced onion

2 large cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon cumin

5 medium-sized red bell peppers (stemmed, seeded and sliced)

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

2 1/2 cups 8th Continent™ Soymilk - at room temperature

 
Instructions:

1.  Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat and swirl to coat the pan.

2.  Add the onion, garlic and cumin, cook over low heat, stirring for 5 minutes.

3.  Add the bell peppers and salt, stir well and cover; continue to cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4.  Gradually sprinkle in the flour.  Cook, stirring for about 3 more minutes.  Remove from heat.

5.  Pureé in a blender, bit by bit, with the soymilk.  Pour the pureed soup back into the same pot.  You may wish to strain the soup to get a smoother texture.

6.  Heat very gently (do not boil), then add black pepper to taste.  Serve topped with torn cilantro leaves.
