Vine-ripened plum tomatoes punched up with peppers, garlic and rice wine vinegar make this smooth soup a summer standout. Diabetic Exchanges: 2 vegetable, 1/2 lean meat. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. Ingredients:
2 medium sweet red peppers |
2 cups water |
10 plum tomatoes |
1 anaheim chili, seeded and chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 cup chicken broth |
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil |
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Broil red peppers 4-inches from the heat until skins blister. With tongs, rotate peppers a quarter turn. Broil and rotate until all sides are blistered and blackened. Immediately place peppers in a bowl; cover and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Peel off and discard charred skin. Remove stems and seeds. Finely chop peppers.
2. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add tomatoes; cover and boil for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately place tomatoes in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
3. In same pan, combine the roasted peppers, tomatoes, Anaheim pepper and garlic; heat through. Stir in the broth and vinegar; heat through. Stir in basil. Cool slightly.
4. In small batches, puree soup in a blender. Return to the pan and heat through. Garnish with cheese.
