My recipe adapatation: This delicious soup will have a pale red/orange color from the peppers ! delcious and beautiful Ingredients:
5 to 6 peeled, cubed potatoes |
1 large bunch of leeks- well cleaned, coarse chopped, use white part only |
2 red bell peppers, seeded , chunky cut |
chicken broth or water to cover |
half and half cream to thin and flavor |
salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste |
Directions:
1. Place potatoes, leeks, bell pepper in pot.
2. Add just enough broth or liquid to cover.
3. Bring to a boil and cover and simmer until everything is tender and soft.
4. Use a hand blender ( or place batches of mixture in your blender ) and blend smooth.
5. Mixture should be thick.
6. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
7. Stir in enough half and half cream to thin soup a bit and also to flavor.
8. I serve this soup hot.
9. If you desire to serve cold- thin soup with more cream as this soup thickens more when chilled.
