My recipe for Roasted Red Pepper Soup.

Yes you all know I love cooking. I've decided I will post some of my recipes but not the top secret ones. Ha Ha! So today's recipe is the following:

Roasted Red Pepper Soup

1/4 cup of finely chopped Onion, leeks, celery
5lbs of roasted red peppers (either roast them on the grill or in the oven)
750ml of tomato fillets (you can use fresh or canned)
750ml chicken stock
1-2 clove of chopped garlic
1 tbsp of chopped lemongrass
1-2 small red chili peppers (if you like it spicy)

salt and pepper to taste

In a heavy bottom pot sautee, celery, onion, leek, and garlic in oil, cook until translucent and you can smell the flavours coming out.

Season with salt and pepper, add roasted red peppers, tomato fillets, chicken stock and simmer for about 45 minutes.

Puree this broth in a food processor or hand blender, adjust the seasoning and serve.

This is a mighty fine hearty soup! I love it!
