Description[]
We call this Albert's soup because my husband's work colleague, Albert, told us about it, but it has become a real favourite here. As simple as this soup sounds, it really doesn't need any enhancement! This recipe is also very easy to scale up or down.
Ingredients[]
- 3 – 4 red bell peppers (however many you like)
- 6 plum tomatoes (an equal amount to the peppers)
- 3 cups of Fridge-cleaner Vegetable Stock (or your favourite stock)
- romano cheese, thinly sliced (a slice or 2 per bowl)
- (optional) garlic
- (optional) basil, julienned
Directions[]
- Half the tomatoes
- Place face up on a roasting pan along with whole pepper (and garlic if you are using any)
- Roast until the either the peppers or the tomatoes start becoming blackened
- Remove from the oven
- Remove the skins from the tomatoes and peppers
- Purée along with any juice from the roasting process and the stock
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Heat the soup if necessary (my husband insisted on this step)
- Serve with a slice of romano cheese in each bowl and (optionally) some julienned basil
